Now that deDmsign is fairly simple and it Fusually works the Csame

For a Dmcouple of boys with Cbodhrans will be Dmmurdering Christy Moore

Now the Dmowner is Norwegian and the Fmanager comes from CCork
And the Dmlad that's holding up the bar says 'COnly Eejits AmWork'
He was Dmborn and bred in Bolton but his Fmammy's from KilCdare
And he's Dmgoing to make his Cfortune soon and Dmmove to County Clare
[Chorus]
They've got Fone in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
They got Dmfour of them in Sydney and a Ccouple in KathmanAmdu
So Dmwhether you sing or pull up, you'll Falways have a Cjob

When we mDmeet next week in CFrankford in the Dmfields of Athenry
[Chorus]
They've got Fone in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
