Hullo, there, Portydown … how's it goin'?

This wee number's based loosely on Lisdoonvarna to the tune of A Boy Named Sue … except for the wee bit at the end where youse can all join in!

Well here we are in Portydown
The rain is fairly chuckin' down
And we're stranded in the campsite at Drumcree
There's a bit of music in tent number four
So I pull down the zip of thon oul' front door
And holy feck! The sight that's greetin' me
There's Donal Lunny, Gary Moore
(No relation … rest assured)
Barry Devlin, Van the Man, Sinead
Feargal Sharkey, Sharon Corr
Sharon Shannon, how's it goin' a stor?
And April South – now there's a tidy blade!

There's Michael Flatley fit and lean
But he can't step it out like Jean
Who says she's on a promise with MacGowan
And oul' Bob Dylan's come along
(To nick some tunes for some new songs!
"God On Our Side?" You'll not live thon one down!")
And there's Bill McCrea, the rev who croons
And Luv Bug, Boyzone, playing tunes
The Wise Maid and The Maid Behind The Bar
And Andy Irvine, Jackie Daly
Paddy Keenan, what a ceili
I wish to fuck I'd brought me oul' guitar!

Oh Drumcree campsite
Drumcree Drumcree Drumcree Campsite
Ad nauseam
