In Millstreet Town Tonight

There is music and singing and dancing in The Bush Bar tonight And laughter abundant and none seem uptight Drink and be merry as some like to say Any thoughts of care from their minds far away In Tarrant's Bar tonight joy and laughter abound Where people are happy sadness not to be found Making light of their worries on guinness and beer There is a sense of happiness in the sound of cheer The talk is of greyhounds in Corkery's Bar tonight Of track and coursing dogs and of what dog might In The Town Park race into coursing renown On a wintry evening in old Millstreet Town In The Mal Paso Pub the talk is of the World game of football Where great players and clubs men whilst drinking recall Patronized by the fans and the players of Los Zarcos Millstreet oldest Soccer Club They do feel at home in Brian Sullivan's Pub A forty five drive in progress in McCarthy's where the atmosphere is great On enjoyable hobbies there is never a use by date Of economic hardships in Ireland we read of and hear But people go to the pubs though alcohol to buy is dear In Ursula Pomeroy's Clara Inn the old Pub in Church Street Where the friends and the families for drinks like to meet In Millstreet everyone do have their favorite public bar They go to the pub where their bonded friends are In The Wallis Arms tonight a twenty first birthday party in full swing Like it is said about youth it must have it's fling They eat, drink, dance, laugh and sing until pub closing time The young like to party near to or in their life's prime Going by the publicans in Duhallow who seem to be doing well That there is an economic depression in Ireland one could hardly tell There is drinking, laughter, music, dance and song and not a worry in sight And entertainment of some sort in every pub in Millstreet Town tonight.
