The Chieftains - Changing Your Demeanour lyrics

Here we are we've come to call with pipes and flutes and fiddles and all In case of d**h we've even brought a keener So, if you're glum and feeling down just be 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 pa** the post But, woe was me, he lost the bloomin' jockey! (Lilting, followed by verse-long fiddle and whistle break) Now of all the places I have seen from China to the Caribbean None across the globe compares to Ireland From Bally Castle to Tralie the Corup to the Liffy There's no where else on earth quite 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 take a gander o'er the hills And listen to the larks lovely warbling In the evening company with music in the key of D You'll be dancing Kerry sets until the morning (Lilting) Dancing Kerry sets until the morning
