My sister's in the kitchen She walks across the blue vinyl floor Empties the ashtrays Shouting “What are these dirty gla**es for?” My brothers keep punching They roll back the beds that they've made I'm drinking Irish Breakfast On a cold night in Adelaide The old man crashes in the driveway With a price on his head We had to hold him down Me and Lois… to get him ready for bed At the table on Sundays The whole shooting match goes on parade
I'm drinking Irish Breakfast On a cold night in Adelaide Save myself the drama Save myself from the grief that they spill Over the half empty bottle And the anger not even the Irish could k** I'm too old for crying But I'm too young to let memories fade So I'm drinking Irish Breakfast On a cold night in Adelaide I'm drinking Irish Breakfast On a cold night in Adelaide Oh Adelaide!
