Rockin' The Bronx

I got a job in a band called Black 47
 I was doin' nothin' special after 11
 Oh we learned some tunes and wrote some songs
 And we bought ourselves a drum machine to keep the beat strong
 Well we bought the Irish People, the Echo and the Voice
 And we rang a few bars, said "We got a new noise
 And it would please us greatly to come on uptown
 And show you paddies how we get on down"
 One o'clock, two o'clock, give us a chance
 All we wanna do is be rockin' the Bronx
 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock what does she want?
 The girl in black leather wants to
 Rock in the, rock in the Bronx
 Oh we got a gig in the Village Pub
 But the regulars there all said that we sucked
 Then Big John Flynn, said "Oh, no no
 You'll be causin' a riot if I don't let you go"
 Then a flintstone from the Phoenix gave us a call
 When he heard the beat, he was quite appalled
 "D'yez not know nothin' by Christy Moore?"
 The next thing you be wantin' is Danny Boy!
 Chris is chillin' on the uileann but he isn't alone
 Here comes Freddy on the slide trombone
 Add a little guitar, Geoff Blythe on the sax
 Gonna shoot you full of our New York fix
 Then we went into the studio and made a tape
 Frank Murray from the Pogues said "I think that it's great"
 Galigula said "It could be a hit,
 And if it falls on its face, who gives a shit!"
 Now everywhere we go we cause a fuss
 Coz we play what we like and our sound is us
 It's got a whole lot of hell and a little bit of heaven
 That's the story so far of Black '47
