I’ll smoke till all the air is thick, I’ll drink live pints and not feel sick. l’ll use bad language to my fill . . I will . . On a high stool for hours I’ll sit, Or lean against the door and spit. I’ll drain each pint to the last sup And tell the man to hurry up, Till I have had five tankards, yes, No less. I’ll talk with Jemmy Connolly, (He’ll have grown old and fat like me) We’ll talk of women and everything And then, perhaps, we’ll start to sing. We’1lstart to sing, and fight, and shout, ’Twill take three men to chuck us out . . By God, the things that I could do . . . Whew-w-W . . Seumas O’Sullivan.
