Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the town of Milton one
Brian Flannigan battered away till his money was spent
Then he hit a big one, felt like a man again
Bought a three decker with two floors for rent
[Verse 2]
He threw a big party for friends
And relations at a grand old place called Florian Hall
And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten
To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball
[Verse 3]
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Six long months doing nothing at all
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[Verse 4]
Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies
Ziti and sauce for Mark Porzio
There were Faheys and Bradys
Mcauliffes and Daleys courtin' the girls and dancing away
[Verse 5]
Brian Tully sang out in his finest form
The patron's responded and I lead em all
I'd spent six months at Forbes Academy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[Verse 6]
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Six long months doing nothing at all
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[Verse 7]
The boys were hammered, the girls were hearty
Dancing around in couples and groups
An accident happened, young Dennis Flemming
Put his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops
[Verse 8]
This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder
Called for her sons and gathered them all
Christopher swore he'd go no further
Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball
[Verse 9]
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Six long months doing nothing at all
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[Verse 10]
In the midst of the melee
Miss Collins fainted her cheeks by now were as red as a rose
Some of the boys declared she was plastered
Had a small drop too much I suppose
[Verse 11]
Young Scotty Jenkins so big and able
Saw his fair colleen stretched by the wall
Tore the left leg from under the table
And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball
[Verse 12]
Boy oh boy now this was a rumble
Myself took a lick from mean Richard Green
But I soon replied to that fine introduction
And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen
Talent the piper nearly got strangled
They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all
The girls in the middle nearly got trampled
And that put an end to Flannigan's ball
[Verse 13]
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Six long months doing nothing at all
Six long months I spent in Quincy
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
I stepped out and I stepped in again
Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
