DOLLYMOUNT STRAND

On Dollymount Strand on a cold winter's night
I put on the hand brake and switched out the light
I looked at me Mot and said, "Aye, are you right?"
Meself and the architect's daughter

Chorus:
But the sea, oh the sea, it crept up on me
And the water was risin' up quite rapidly
I sez to the Mot, "Get your hand off me knee.”
"Can't you see we're surrounded by water.”

I switched on the ignition and put in gear
Could I get it movin', lads hold not a fear
Not if I was there for the next bloody year
There was sand in the old carburetor

Chorus

With water the car soon filled to the brim
I sez to the Mot, "Dear, the chances are slim.”
"So love get them off here, we'll both have to swin.”
So I let down the window and scampered

Chorus

So if ever you down to Dollymount Strand
Be sure that the tide's out and everything's grand
For a bird in the bush is worth two in the hand
Regardless to what you are after

Chorus
