Christy Moore - Arthur's Day lyrics

Diageo Diageo have mounted a Crusade
Creating Arthur’s Day
They’ve suckered us into their charade
Start ’em off on Alco-Pops
Tastes just like lemonade
Get ’em into the hit while they’re
Young and none the wiser

Diageo pump the volume up on Arthur’s Day
With The Manic Street
Preachers, Primal Scream
Tom Jones and David Gray
To flog their alcohol
They’re revving the youngsters up
For a mighty spree
Twitter and Facebook tеlling them where Thе
Mumford’s ‘r going to be

Happy happy happy happy Arthur’s Day
It’s such… a Happy clappy advertising’ scheme
Drink sensibly they implore us
As their Hosannas sound a never-ending chorus
‘N kids get hooked on the
Fantasies that flash before us
Arthurs Alcoholiday is coming round again
He’s the patron saint of porter
Canonized by the Advertising’ Men
The medics in the ambulance
‘ll be working overtime
The A&E ‘ll be like a drunk
Tank in the firing line
While Diageo goes AWOL at closing time
