The Lingerie Song

Each Wednesday night while the kids are asleep
And me wife's at the bingo it's upstairs I creep
I throw me old coveralls down on the floor
And go rummaging into the top dresser drawer
(Chorus)
Then I swing to the left, I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
Oh there's nothing on earth as pleasing to me
As dancing around in me wife's lingerie

Well that's been my hobby for six years or so
And I feel that it's time for to let yous all know
I suppose it might come as a terrible shock
Ah can you just imagine me wearing a smock
(Chorus)
As I swing to the left and I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
Oh there's nothing on earth as pleasing to me
As dancing around in me wife's lingerie

Last Saturday night on me way to the bar
I went to confessions to see Father Maher
Says he "Now my son, won't you tell me what's wrong?"
Ah says I "Hold on Father, I'll sing you my song."
(Chorus)
I swing to the left, I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
For there's nothing on earth that'll give your heart cheer
Like dancing around in your wife's ould brazier

Well ould Father Maher gave a terrible shout
Then he reached through the curtain and gave me a clout
For penance he gave me the whole rosary
Saying 'Try not to wrinkle your wife's hosiery"
(Chorus)
As I swing to the left and I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
Oh there's nothing on earth as pleasing to me
As dancing around in me wife's lingerie

Well that's been my story I know it's absurd
But I've told you the truth to the very last word
I'm a little uncomfortable singing this song
But I think it's because I am wearing a thong
(Chorus)
As I swing to the left and I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
Oh there's nothing on earth as pleasing to me
As dancing around in me wife's lingerie
(Chorus)
Oh I swing to the left, I swing to the right
Just prancing and dancing well into the night
For there's nothing on earth that'll give your heart cheer
Like dancing around in your wife's UN DER WEAR!
