The Donnybrook Affair

A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray

A rough-n-tumble free-for-all

A broil, a brawl, a melee

A ruckus to be reckoned with

And now without delay

We're takin the road to the Dodder on down

To march in the last parade

A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray

A rough-n-tumble free-for-all

A broil, a brawl, a melee

A ruckus to be reckoned with

If anyone wants to dare

We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down

For the Donnybrook affair

I will go! I will meet you there

I will spend a week or two with you

At Donnybrook Fair

I will go! I will meet you there

But the council's up in arms

They aim to take it away I swear

The council's up in arms

They aim to take it away I swear

A license for leisure, What-e'er be the pleasure

The council's always up in arms

To try and take it away, hey!

Play the harp and play the fiddle

Play the whistle too

Bang the drum and use the lungs

To get the message through

But ya fight ya might get tar-n-feathered

So bow and say a prayer

To the commission for the abolition

Of the Donnybrook Fair

A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray

A rough-n-tumble free-for-all

A broil, a brawl, a melee

A ruckus to be reckoned with

If anyone wants to dare

We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down

For the Donnybrook affair

I will go! I will meet you there

I will spend a week or two with you

At Donnybrook Fair

I will go! I will meet you there

But the council's up in arms

They aim to take it away I swear

The council's up in arms

They aim to take it away I swear

A license for leisure, what-e'er be the pleasure

The council's always up in arms

To try and take it away, hey!

A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray

A rough-n-tumble free-for-all

A broil, a brawl, a melee

A ruckus to be reckoned with

And now without delay

We're takin' the road to the Dodder on down

To march in the last parade

A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
