Christy Moore - 16 Fishermen Raving lyrics
[Christy Moore - 16 Fishermen Raving lyrics]
16 fishermen raving out on the town on E
16 peacocks leave their nest and
Go flying into mystery
They try to cut the Spanish look
But they look so untidy
Don't eat too much you'll never get
Enough when you're flying into mystery
Flyin' into mystery when you
Should be out seafarin'
Run out the jib rig the
Boom step back reality
When their ship is on the ocean
Their nights are so empty
They're weary of the smelly fish and
The wash of the salty sea
16 jolly ravers each one
Carrying his own caul
They believe it will keep death away
When they face the angry squall
Why face the angry squall when
You could go go-go dancin'
Run out the jib rig the
Boom step back reality
Yad adad ada yadd a dadd a da yat ti
A rat ti a rat ti a ra da
Yadd a dad a da yad adad ada
Yatt tye a rat tie a rat
To the 16 fishermen raving those
Girls look so fancy
You could ate your fry off the back of her
Neck if you want some more say please
When fishermen are feeling good
They feel it musically
They go down singing shanties to
The dancefloor all at sea
To the dancefloor all at
Sea 16 fishermen raving
Run out the jib rig the
Boom step back reality
Flyin' in to mystery when you
Should be out seafarin'
Run out the jib rig the
Boom step back reality
Yad adad ada yadd a dadd a da yat ti
A rat ti a rat ti a ra da
Yadd a dad a da yad adad ada
Yatt tye a rat tie a rat
16 peacocks leave their nest and
Go flying into mystery
They try to cut the Spanish look
But they look so untidy
Don't eat too much you'll never get
Enough when you're flying into mystery
Flyin' into mystery when you
Should be out seafarin'
Run out the jib rig the
Boom step back reality
When their ship is on the ocean
Their nights are so empty
They're weary of the smelly fish and
The wash of the salty sea
16 jolly ravers each one
Carrying his own caul
They believe it will keep death away
When they face the angry squall
Why face the angry squall when
You could go go-go dancin'
Run out the jib rig the
Boom step back reality
Yad adad ada yadd a dadd a da yat ti
A rat ti a rat ti a ra da
Yadd a dad a da yad adad ada
Yatt tye a rat tie a rat
To the 16 fishermen raving those
Girls look so fancy
You could ate your fry off the back of her
Neck if you want some more say please
When fishermen are feeling good
They feel it musically
They go down singing shanties to
The dancefloor all at sea
To the dancefloor all at
Sea 16 fishermen raving
Run out the jib rig the
Boom step back reality
Flyin' in to mystery when you
Should be out seafarin'
Run out the jib rig the
Boom step back reality
Yad adad ada yadd a dadd a da yat ti
A rat ti a rat ti a ra da
Yadd a dad a da yad adad ada
Yatt tye a rat tie a rat
