That night I flew through Athlone and Ballinasloe. I was home in an hour and a half! And though it was kinda late, I just had to celebrate, So I killed the fatted calf, And next day I booked a room for my upcoming honeymoon Where no-one would be any wiser, And in raptures and raptures, I published my nuptials In the Galway Advertiser!
For six days or seven, I thought I was in heaven. I was trying it out for size, But like every other lover, I was shortly to discover 'Twas an amadán's paradise, For while I was thinking that the Kingdom had come, And was chantin' "Alleluia," Chantal was listening to a different drum And singing, "Johnny, I hardly knew ye!"
