The Langer Song
Have you seen the old man The drunken ould lout Roaring and bawling and spilling his stout? And in everyone's business You'll foresee his snout Down in Cork he'd be known as a langer
Chorus: A langer (Response: A langer) In Cork he'd be known as a langer
And our hero Roy Keane Footballer supreme The finest this country and venue's(?) ever seen. And we'd have won the World Cup But Mick McCarty fouled up. Roy was dead right to call him a langer!
Chorus: A langer (A langer) Roy was dead right to call him a langer!
And Johnny and Mick ?? ((Can't figure out this line, I'm afraid)) ?? With spotlamps and spiders And loud rock music Ah, but don't they look nice With the big furry dice? Would they ever stop acting the langer?
Chorus: The langer (the langer) Would they ever stop acting the langer?
Irish verse involving the phrase "mo thoin" (my ass), followed by chorus (I suspect this one must be especially off-color: I'd give a lot to know what it says)
From Mitchellstown to Cape Clear You'll be welcome down here For there's plenty of scenery, music, and beer But avoid the rugby weekend in Kinsale For every year with out fail The town gets infested with langers
Chorus: With langers (with langers) The whole town's infested with langers
[This verse done in an English accent] In two thousand and five Culture will thrive All along the green banks of the Lee (Shouted: Oh, good man, George!) But no matter what If you arrive on a yacht We'll tolerate absolutely nobody acting the langer (Shouted: Certainly not in Crosshaven!)
Chorus: Langer (Langer) There'll be nobody acting the langer
George Bush and his boys Ah, did make your blood boil. Will they give the Iraqi people back their soil? Ah, and all of us know All he wants is their oil. Oh Lord, he's a ferocious langer!
Chorus: A langer (A langer) Oh Lord, he's a ferocious langer!
So three cheers for Roy Keane He's back wearing the green. Ah, what more could you ask him to do? So forget all the press And the whole bloody mess They're only a big shore o' langers.
Chorus: Langers (Langers) They're only a big shore of langers.
So there was me song I didn't keep ye too long For now ye all know one word of Cork slang And while there's meat on me bones I hope I'll never be known As a typical home-grown Cork langer
Chorus (2x): Langer (Langer) As a typical home-grown Cork langer
