The Jolly Rogers - Schlancey McGreugh lyrics
[The Jolly Rogers - Schlancey McGreugh lyrics]
Now you'll find him at the
Pub nearly every single night
And when you least expect it
He'll break into a fight
By day a perfect gentleman that
We all know as Clancy
But tipping back his flask how
He got the nickname "Schlancey!"
His eyes would glow a bloody red
Steam shooting out his ears
And anyone caught in his path will
Be laid out for years!
With a dook dook dook, everybody shouts!
Dook dook dook the lights go out!
You wouldn't believe the things he'd do
Talkin' about old Schlancey McGreugh
When I was out one Tuesday he
Was sitting at thе bar
Everyone was singin' along to
Whiskey In Thе Jar
Delancey he got handsy with
Clancy's sister Nancy
A little dook dook from his flask
And then he shouted "Schlancey!"
Delancey flew across the bar but
That's not all he got
When he landed we all saw his
Arms tied in a double knot!
With a dook dook dook more broken bones!
Dook dook dook, more moans and groans!
You wouldn't believe the things he'd do
Talkin' about old Schlancey McGreugh!
And then there was the evening
Of the annual fiddler's ball
Clancy watched the revel from the
Dancing hall back wall
Joe yelled, "Hey there
Clancy! Why you no dancy-Prancy?"
There was a little bit more dook
Dook and a customary "Schlancey!"
Joe hit the floor face-first and
We heard the floorboards crack
And Schlancey stomped an angry jig
Up and down Joe's back!
With a dook dook dook the band played on!
Dook dook dook with the same old song
You wouldn't believe the things he'd do
Talkin' about old Schlancey McGreugh!
At Jack and Sheila's wedding
Clancy wore his Sunday best
With spiffy high-breeched trousers and
A well-cut leather vest
Clancy took it wrong when
Jack said, "Hey there, fancy pantsy!"
Then dook dook dook dook dook dook dook dook-
Dook dook dook dook, "Schlancey!"
We felt sorry for the bride
When the carnage first began
And not a soul will dare to
Speak of those events again!
With a dook dook dook no wedding bells
Dook dook dook what the hell?
You wouldn't believe the things he'd do
Talkin' about old Schlancey McGreugh!
Nobody had seen him since
That fateful wedding night
To tell the truth, we were relieved
He gave us quite the fright
Last night the pub was quiet but
Then we all got antsy
No one knows why it happened but
Through the wall bursts "Schlancey!"
"Everybody out!" the barkeep cried as
We crowded through the door
And Schlancey punched through every wall
Our pub here stands no more!
With a dook dook dook everybody frowned
Dook dook dook the walls came down
You wouldn't believe the things he'd do
Talkin' about old Schlancey McGreugh!
So if there is a moral to our cautionary tale
Take from us this advice and
You will surely never fail
Tone down the rage and anger
Don't let it get too chancy
'Cause no one ever want to see
You blow your top like Schlancey!
With a little rum and water
Anyone can remember
To forget the troubles of the day
And quiet that hot temper!
With a dook dook dook have a grog and smile!
Dook dook dook you'll be fine in a while
You wouldn't believe what you can do
If you don't wind up like Schlancey McGreugh!
You wouldn't believe what you can do
If you don't wind up like Schlancey McGreugh!
(yeah)
