A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough-n-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-n-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, whate'er be the pleasure
The council's always up in arms to try and take it away, hey!
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
So the commission of the abolition of the Donnybrook Fair
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough-n-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, whate'er be the pleasure
The council's always up in arms to try and take it away, hey!
