(SHANE Gives Sharon an affectionate squeeze of her ass as she makes her way off stage.) Sharon Corr, folks! Great girl, altogether!
Anyway … you'll know the tune of this next one. It's been used for "The Black Velvet Band". This is "The Drumcree Marching Band".
Near a neat little town they call Lurgan There's a hell-hole they call Portydown And many's an hour of dire misery I spent in that miserable town Till a streak of good fortune came over me From then on me life it was grand For they gave me a flute and a new shiny suit And I joined the Drumcree Marching Band
CHORUS Our flutes they shone like diamonds Our drums could be heard 'cross the Bann With our epaulettes perched on our shoulders Here comes the Drumcree Marching Band
We attempted to walk up Garvaghy The Commission said "Sorry that's banned" And we said "You oul' shite. Sure we have the right To walk any road in this land!" But not one foot in front of another On this road has the Orange since placed And all of our shoutin' and bluster, boys To me it appears just a waste!
