Grimaces)

(Strums guitar. Grimaces again.)

Hey where did we go, days when the rain came?
Up to our oxters in glar, drivin' me insane
Slippin' and slidin', cowpin' and heelin'
That day you lit on yer ass, was so revealin'

And you're my blue-nosed girl
You're my blue-nosed girl

Whatever happened? These days are so slow
We don't even have a scrap, at the oul' Garvaghy Road
Mushrooms and Buckie, don't get me riled no more
I'm still lookin' for those days so wild of yore

With you, my blue-nosed girl
You're my blue-nosed girl

Do you remember when, we used to sing
Sha-la-la, la-la-la-la
We shall not be moved
Sha-la-la, la-la-la-la
We shall not be moved
Shan't be moved

Bricks and bottles, claddin' the cops all night
Shakin' yer ass downtown, tryin' to start a fight
The boys in the Tunnel, knew you were out of bounds
They'd soon have converted, if they went the fifteen rounds

With you, my blue-nosed girl
You're my blue-nosed girl

Mundies and Tennents, stuck into the oul' Clan Dew
You'd dance round the fire, in your red, white and blue
Flickering shadows, highlight your epaulettes
I'll never surrender, darlin', I'll never forget

You, my blue-nosed girl
You're my blue-nosed girl

Do you remember when, we used to sing
Sha-la-la, la-la-la-la
We shall not be moved
Sha-la-la, la-la-la-la
We shall not be moved
Shan't be moved

Twirlin' your baton, baby, wish you'd give me a twirl
Heart beats like a Lambeg drum, when your colours are unfurled
I'd walk through your arch, pretty baby, I'd carry my flegpole high
When I'm with you, each day is like the Twelfth of July

With you, my blue-nosed girl
You're my blue-nosed girl

Do you remember when, we used to sing
Sha-la-la, la-la-la-la
We shall not be moved
Sha-la-la, la-la-la-la
We shall not be moved
Shan't be moved
