Johnny Jump Up

Oh never, oh never, oh never again.

If I lived to a hundred or a hundred and ten Then I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jumper After lowering the turd, I headed straight for the yard, where I bumped into Brophy, the big civic guard.

Come here to me, boy, don't you know I'm the law? Well, I upped with my fist, and I shattered his jaw.

He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up.

I sure wasn't, I hit him through the jaw and he jumped up.

And the next thing I met down in Yall by the sea Was a cripple on crutches and says he drew me I'm afraid of me life, I'll be hit by a car Would you help me across to the railway man's bar? And after three pints of that cider so sweet He drew down his crutches and he danced at his feet Oh never, oh never, oh never again If I lift to a hundred or a hundred and ten Cause I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Club Now I went up the lee road a friend for to see They call it the mad house in Cork by the lee When I got up there the truth I do tell They had the poor bugger locked up in his cell Says the guard testing him say these words if you can Around the ragged rocks the ragged rascal ran Tell them I'm not crazy tell them I'm not mad It was only six pints of that cider I had Now a man died in the union by the name of MacNab They washed him and placed him outside on a slab And after the coroner his measurings to take His wife took him home to a bloody fine wake It was about twelve o'clock and the beer it was high The corpse he set up and he says with a sigh I can't get to heaven, they won't let me up Till I bring them a pint of the Johnny Jump up Oh never, oh never, oh never again If I lived to a hundred or a hundred and ten Cos I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jumper Oh never, oh never, oh never again If I lived to a hundred or a hundred and ten Cos I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up After drinking a pint of the Johnny Jumper

Well, there you have it.

That was Johnny Jump Up and Morrison Jeg.

He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up, but sure twasn't I hit him through the jaw and he jumped up.

And the next thing I met down in Yall by the sea Was a cripple on crutches and says he drew me I'm afraid of me life, I'll be hit by a car Would you help me across to the railway man's bar?

By Killarney's lakes and fells, Emerald Isles and winding bays, Mountain paths and woodland dells, Memory ever fondly strays.

Bounteous nature loves all lands, Beauty wanders everywhere.

I did, I did, I did.

Wait a minute.

Johnny Jump Up.

And it was from Gaelic Storm.
