THE MID-WEST IRISH CLUB

WELL STAN THE MAN FROM FIDDLESTICKS AND MESELF TO BE SURE
SET OFF FROM PERTH TO GERALDTON TO BE THERE BEFORE FOUR
BUT WHEN THE BOTH OF US SAW THAT TINY TINNY SHED HUB
LUCKILY AROUND AT THE BACK WAS A GREAT WEE IRISH CLUB

chorus FROM ULSTER TO MUNSTER AND GERALDTON NOWHERE NEAR THERE
FROM CATHOLIC TO LUTHERAN ….HAY, WHO OR WHAT OR WHERE?
NEAR HOWARD STREET & FOURTH STREET LIES A STRANGE LITTLE IRISH PUB
WHERE THE CRAIC IS MORE THAN MIGHTY IN THIS MID-WEST IRISH CLUB

NOW JACK WAS AT THE BACK WITH KATHLEEN HIS WIFE
THEY'D SURVIVED UPS AND DOWNS THEY'D LIVED A HELLUVA LIFE
THEY'D MANAGED THIS WEE CLUB FOR AN AWFULLY LONG TIME
THEY'D ALWAYS TALKED THE TALK GUZZLED THE BEER & DRANK THE WINE

chorus FROM ULSTER TO MUNSTER AND GERALDTON IN THE MIDDLE
FROM CATHOLIC TO LUTHERAN OR WHATEVER TUNE YOU FIDDLE
NEAR HOWARD STREET & FOURTH STREET LIES A STRANGE LITTLE IRISH PUB
WHERE THE CRAIC IS MORE THAN MIGHTY IN THIS MID-WEST IRISH CLUB

NOW PADDY MONAGHAN BEFORE THEM HAD SHOWED THEM MOST OF THE WAY
AND FRANK OUR FRIEND KELLY HE ALWAYS HAD HIS SAY
AND OF COURSE EILEEN MARTIN SHE WORKED BE HIND THE SCENE
AND I'M SURE QUITE A FEW OTHERS WORKED SO EVER HARD IN BETWEEN

chorus FROM ULSTER TO MUNSTER AND GERALDTON IN THE MID WEST
FROM CATHOLIC TO LUTHERAN I'M SURE YOU'LL ALL BE BLESSED
NEAR HOWARD STREET & FOURTH STREET LIES A STRANGE LITTLE IRISH PUB
WHERE THE CRAIC IS MORE THAN MIGHTY IN THIS MID-WEST IRISH CLUB

BUT THE MAN OF THE MOMENT WELL MURPHY WAS HIS NAME
EOIN TO SOME OF HIS FRIENDS WITH HIS PRETTY PARTNER ELAINE
THEY ARE THE YOUNG ONES THAT THEY HOPED WOULD TAKE OVER
TO MAKE SURE THE BEER SOLD SO THAT NO ONE A 'TALL WAS SOBER.

chorus FROM ULSTER TO MUNSTER AND GERALDTON NEAR THE COAST
FROM CATHOLIC TO LUTHERAN LET'S RAISE OUR GLASSES AND TOAST
NEAR HOWARD STREET & FOURTH STREET LIES A STRANGE LITTLE IRISH PUB
WHERE THE CRAIC IS MORE THAN MIGHTY IN THIS MID-WEST IRISH CLUB
