paddy murphy - the merry wives of windsor lyrics

the night that paddy murphy died, is a night i’ll never forget
the whole d*mn room got stinkin’ drunk
and we ain’t been sober yet
the only thing we did that night that filled my heart with fear
we took the ice from off the corpse to chill the bl**dy beer

that’s how we show our respect for paddy murphy
that’s how we show our honor and our pride
we said it was a sin and shame and we winked at one another
and every drink in the place was full the night pat murphy died

at three o’clock in the morning after empty’ing out the jug
doyle rose up the coffin lid to see poor paddy’s mug;
well we fixed the clock so mrs. murphy couldn’t tell the time
and at a quarter after three we argued it was nine

now everything was doin’ fine, there was no ill at all
till finnegan told callaghan, “you’ve got an awful gall.”
i thought that it might start a row, and sure enough it did
for callaghan had carved his name upon the coffin lid
that’s how we show our respect for paddy murphy
that’s how we show our honor and our pride
we said it was a sin and shame and we winked at one another
and every drink in the place was full the night pat murphy died

then the fight got fierce and strong, everyone was in
someone knocked the whiskers off poor old darby flynn;
now dirty andy burke was there, and whadda ya think he done?
he placed the corpse right on its head, in the corner just for fun

someone asked ol’ finnegan if anyone had died
“lou,” he said, “i’m not quite sure, i just came for the ride.”
they filed out for the graveyard, all holy and sublime
when they got there, they realized, they’d left the corpse behind

twas twenty years ago we put murphy in the ground
and every year to celebrate we pass the jug around
we gather at the grave and pour vinegar in his ditch
’cause everybody hated that lousy son*of*a*…
that’s how we show our respect for paddy murphy
that’s how we show our honor and our pride
we said it was a sin and shame and we winked at one another
and every drink in the place was full the night pat murphy died
every drink in the place was full the night pat murphy died
