Thread Name: Lyr Req: Many's the Pint I Had with Pope John Paul
Subject: Manys the pint I had with Pope John Paul
Hi Catters,

This is probably directed more at Irish Catters but obviously help from anyone is very much appreciated. I'm looking for the lyrics of a song. It is a parody of 'The Craic Was 90 in the Isle of Man' And is titled Manys the pint I had with Pope John Paul (I think). The first two lines are.

Weren't we the rare auld stock
We spent the weekend on the lock
We went there for the craic
Cos we knew the pope was coming

Each verse ends with the lines
Oh tis manys the pint I had with the Pope John Paul


It's all abpout the popes visit to Ireland in 1979. And of how he meets up with three lads and they go on the tear for the weekend. It finishes up with the pope being deported. I think it's a parody anyway

Thanks in advance

Mj
