가사
I don't want to stand on the stage with a sword
I went to a pantomime once, I was bored
I'm not a poetical sort of a person like you
When I need a poem, the streets and the gutters will do
There's Tommy Flanagan, who lights the gas lamps
A hundred ninety lamps in Phoenix Park alone
He's done it drunk for over fifty-seven years
In Dublin
And down on Henry Street is mad John Mower
Old rambling Johnny with a face like hammered meat
But Johnny's singing brings a Dublin man to tears
I don't know the words to tell you how it feels
Or how to put it in a rhyme
But if you come with me you'll know
How the lamps in the park look like God in the dark
As they glow
On the streets of Dublin
The dealers hawking and the dockers yelling
The buskers banging and the ragmen ringing bells
And there's Maureen whose door is always open for
Oh, Dublin
And Tony Kiely with his racing pigeons
It's like religion how he lives to fly those birds
He swears they travel for a hundred miles or more
I don't know the kind of words that you might say
But I can put it my own way
And if you come with me you'll know
That those birds on the wing are a beautiful thing
As they blow
Through the streets of Dublin
And there's music like nothing you've heard
If you know the right jukebox to play
There are glasses to raise in the praise
Of surviving the day
Down where Miss Kitty Farrelly is pouring whiskey
And Frankie Donahue is lighting her cigar
A smoky den where working men don't bring their wives
It's the laughter of fellows with stories to tell
Men who love to get drunk and raise true feckin' hell
Oh, you come out with me and you'll see
What you're missing in life
On the streets of Dublin
On the streets of Dublin
On the streets of Dublin
On the streets of Dublin
