Changing Your Demeanour

Lyrics

Here we are we've come to call with pipes and flutes and fiddles and all
 In case of death we've even brought a keener
 So, if you're glum and feeling down just feel like us
 And act the clown and soon there'll be a change in your demeanor
 (Lilting)
 I put me money on a horse today for with the race he'd run away
 Or so a friend that's in the know he told me
 Twenty lengths ahead at most, he proudly cantered pass the post
 But, woe was me, he lost the bloomin' jockey!
 (Lilting, followed by-long fiddle and whistle break)
 Now of all the places I have seen from China to the Caribbean
 Are all across the goat compared to Ireland
 From Bally Castle to Tralie the Corup to the Liffy
 There's no where else on earth but like this island
 (Lilting, followed by short piano break)
 In Hollywood I long to be, no, not the place across the sea
 But in County Wickloe Ireland's lovely garden
 Where no pretenders will you find but decent people warm and kind
 And flocks of friendly sheep into the bargain
 (Lilting, followed by short fiddle and whistle break)
 For your ills don't take a pill but take it down the road, the hills
 And listen to the larks lovely warbling
 In the evening in the company with music in the key of E
 You'll be dancing Kerry sets until the morning
 (Lilting)
 Dancing Kerry sets until the morning
