Paddy is waiting in Drogheda town For the train to carry him south Another drunken night on the town Messing around The Roaring Boys, the roaring boys It's all the same to the roaring boys They come into town just to make some noise Oh the life of the roaring boys Drinking and fighting and acting the fool Shouting insults and thinking you're cool Telling lies and believing they're true Who's fooling who Chorus rpt: Oh the life of the roaring boys. Won't you tell me all your cares and problems Won't you tell me why you look so blue I'll take you into town, yeah, show you a thing or two I know every bar and nightclub Yeh, no two will be the same I know every nightclub doorman And they'll all know my name They all know my name Hey Charlie can you lend us a tenner Just until Saturday night You know I'll pay you back man You know I'll see you right cos Chorus: I am a roaring boy A wild colonial boy I'll party all night long Roaring boy Hey Stevie, let's hit the town I've got some money that I want to spend Let's go out on a bender, let's get drunk again But, Don't tell me 'bout your cares and problems Cos' I don't really want to know I've got train to catch yeah And I have got to go cos Chorus: x 2
