 Lad  it^Òs your duty  to find you a lass
 with  child-bearing hips and  a pink supple ass
 And  make her you wife and  love her with love  so true
 Now,  some rivers run high  some rivers run low
 When  her river runs red then  she starting her flow
 And  it^Òs called menstruation  and heres what  I means  to you
 You  will notice her bloomers  are spartie? At first
 Stand  back, her ovarian  dams gonna burst
 So  don^Òt be afraid  it’s a natural thing
 Just  wind up some cotton and  give her some string
 Put  the old linens on top of the bed
 get  out of the house and go  down to the old pub
 instead.
 She^Òll  retain her  water her breasts will be tender
 And  every third word that you  say will offend her
 Get  out of the house and go  down to the old pub instead
 And  she^Òll want to make  love if you do you’re a fool
 Cause  you^Òll only  end up with a bloody ol’ tool
 Get  out of the house, down  to the old pub instead
 And  she^Òll want you  to sample the fruit of her loins
 But  son it^Òll taste like  some old rusty coins
 So  turn off the lights boy and  take off your hat
 And  drop to your knees say a  prayer to st pat
 Then  he^Òll give you the strength to get out of the bed
 And  for Ireland^Òs  sake go down to the old pub
 instead.
 Now  the pub is the place where  the lads are a meeting
 When  the moon^Òs full and  the girls are a bleatin
 The  catholic, the protestant  even the pagan
 The  pub is the place when lady  is raggin
 So  drink of your pint boys and thank your shamrocks
 That  as men folk we don^Òt have to bleed from our cocks
 And  that we can escape from the lady in red
 And  get out of the house and  go down to the old pub
