Verse 1

Lad it^Òs your duty to find you a lass

with child-bearing hips and a pink supple ass

And make her you wife and love her with love so true

Now, some rivers run high some rivers run low

When her river runs red then she starting her flow

And it^Òs called menstruation and heres what I means to you

You will notice her bloomers are spartie? At first

Stand back, her ovarian dams gonna burst

So don^Òt be afraid it’s a natural thing

Just wind up some cotton and give her some string

Put the old linens on top of the bed

get out of the house and go down to the old pub

instead.

Verse 2

She^Òll retain her water her breasts will be tender

And every third word that you say will offend her

Get out of the house and go down to the old pub instead

And she^Òll want to make love if you do you’re a fool

Cause you^Òll only end up with a bloody ol’ tool

Get out of the house, down to the old pub instead

And she^Òll want you to sample the fruit of her loins

But son it^Òll taste like some old rusty coins

So turn off the lights boy and take off your hat

And drop to your knees say a prayer to st pat

Then he^Òll give you the strength to get out of the bed

And for Ireland^Òs sake go down to the old pub

instead.

Verse 3

Now the pub is the place where the lads are a meeting

When the moon^Òs full and the girls are a bleatin

The catholic, the protestant even the pagan

The pub is the place when lady is raggin

So drink of your pint boys and thank your shamrocks

That as men folk we don^Òt have to bleed from our cocks

And that we can escape from the lady in red

And get out of the house and go down to the old pub
