, , ,  x2
The  first pub we could stagger  to was twelve  steps from the plane
 A Virgin flight to Shannontown  the day  it didn't rain
 The laughing eyes of Ireland  sparkling  blue and green
 With hair as black as Guinness  stout and barely  seventeen
 We're  back out on the cobblestones whiskey  drunk and high
 Liquored  up and gearing up for seven nights in Ireland
, , ,  x2
The  corner booth is waiting  for the session  to begin
 It's quiet as a mother's  prayer ?till  we all stumble in
 And it's fifty happy voices  mixed with whistles  made of tin
 And a piper man is blowing  like the North  Atlantic wind
And  an Aran island beauty is sawing  on the violin
 I  wonder will she miss me after seven nights in Ireland
, , ,  x2
It's  Ladies' Day in Galway  and we watched  the ponies run
 Fifty pounds against  the odds and came  in six to one
 McSwiggin heard the race  report, he invited  us on in
 So we drank Catholic whiskey  with all  our newfound friends
They  raised a glass to all of us and we all  toasted them
 Here's  to Michael, Tom and Pat and seven nights in Ireland
, , ,  x2
 we  kissed all the girls  goodbye and gathered  in our gear
 And when she walked  me to the gate I swear  I saw a tear
 But then she looked into  my eyes I knew  she felt my pain
 And only then I realized  we were standing  in the rain
 So  save our places at the pub and when  the eyes are dry
 We'll  come back another day for seven nights in Ireland
, , ,  x2
