1
In the town of Milton one
2
Brian Flannigan battered away till his money was spent
3
Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again,
4
Bought a three decker with two floors for rent
5
He threw a big party for friends
6
And relations at a grand old place called Florian Hall
7
And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten
8
To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball.
9
[Chorus:]
10
Six long months I spent in quincy,
11
Six long months doing nothing at all,
12
Six long months I spent in quincy
13
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
14
I stepped out and I stepped in again,
15
I stepped out and I stepped in again,
16
I stepped out and I stepped in again
17
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball.
18
Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies,
19
Ziti and sauce for mark porzio
20
There were faheys and bradys,
21
Mcauliffes and daleys courtin the girls and dancing away.
22
Brian tully sang out in his finest form,
23
The patron's responded and I lead em all
24
I'd spent 6 months at Forbes Academy
25
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
26
[Chorus]
27
The boys were hammered the girls were hearty
28
Dancing around in couples and groups
29
An accident happened you Dennis Flemming
30
Put his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops
31
This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder,
32
Called for her sons and gathered them all,
33
Christopher swore he'd go no further
34
Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball
35
[Chorus]
36
In the midst of the melee
37
Miss Collins fainted her cheeks by now were as red as a rose
38
Some of the boys declared she was plastered
39
Had a small drop to much I suppose
40
Young Scotty Jenkins so big and able
41
Saw his fair colleen stretched by the wall
42
Tore the left leg from under the table
43
And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball
44
Boy oh boy now this was a rumble myself
45
Took a lick from mean Ricky Green
46
But I soon replied to that fine introduction
47
And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen
48
Talent the piper nearly got strangled,
49
They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all,
50
The girls in the middle nearly got trampled
51
And that put an end to Flannigan's ball
52
[Chorus]
