The Donnybrook Affair Lyrics

"The Donnybrook Affair"(Barry Privett)
From "Ghost Dragon Attacks Castle"(2013)
Chorus (No chords first time):
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough and tumble free-for-all
A broil, A brawl,A melee,
A ruckus to be reckoned with and now without delay
We're taking the road to the Dodder on down
To march in the last parade
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough and tumble free-for-all
A broil, A brawl, A melee,
A ruckus to be reckoned with if anyone wants to dare
We're taking the road to the Dodder on down
For the Donnybrook affair.
I will go, I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
I will go, I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms,
They aim to take it away, I swear!
The council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear.
A license for leisure,
Whatever be the pleasure,
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
Break 1: D
Play the harp and play the fiddle,
Play the whistle too,
Bang the drum and use the lungs
To get the message through
But you fight, you might get tar-and-feathered,
So, bow and say a prayer,
To the Commission for the Abolition
Of the Donnybrook Fair.
I will go, I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
I will go, I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
The council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
A license for leisure,
Whatever be the pleasure,
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
Whistle Break:
I will go, I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
I will go, I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
And they aim to take it away, I swear
I will go, I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
I will go, I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
The council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
