Testo Flannigans Ball

In the town of Milton one Brian Flannigan battered away till his money was spent Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again, Bought a three decker with two floors for rent He threw a big party for friends And relations at a grand old place called Florian Hall And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball. [Chorus:] Six long months I spent in quincy, Six long months doing nothing at all, Six long months I spent in quincy Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball I stepped out and I stepped in again, I stepped out and I stepped in again, I stepped out and I stepped in again Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball. Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies, Ziti and sauce for mark porzio There were faheys and bradys, Mcauliffes and daleys courtin the girls and dancing away. Brian tully sang out in his finest form, The patron's responded and I lead em all I'd spent 6 months at Forbes Academy Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball [Chorus] The boys were hammered the girls were hearty Dancing around in couples and groups An accident happened you Dennis Flemming Put his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder, Called for her sons and gathered them all, Christopher swore he'd go no further Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball [Chorus] In the midst of the melee Miss Collins fainted her cheeks by now were as red as a rose Some of the boys declared she was plastered Had a small drop to much I suppose Young Scotty Jenkins so big and able Saw his fair colleen stretched by the wall Tore the left leg from under the table And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball Boy oh boy now this was a rumble myself Took a lick from mean Ricky Green But I soon replied to that fine introduction And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen Talent the piper nearly got strangled, They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all, The girls in the middle nearly got trampled And that put an end to Flannigan's ball
