Dollymount Strand
D | A |
Dollymount Strand on a cold | winter's night |
| G | A |
I put on the hand brake and | switched out the | light |
| D | A |
I | looked at me Mot and said, | "Aye, are you right?" |
| G | A | D |
Meself and the | architect's | daugh | ter |
Chorus:
| D | G | D |
But the | sea, oh the sea, it | crept up on | me |
| A | G | A |
And | the water was risin' up | quite rapid | ly |
| D | A | D |
I sez to | the mot | "Get your | hand off me knee. |
| A | G | A | D |
"Can't you | see we're | surrounded by | wa | ter. |
I switched on the ignition and put in gear
Could I get it movin', lads hold not a fear
Not if I was there for the next bloody year
There was sand in the old carburetor
Chorus
With water the car soon filled to the brim
I sez to the Mot, "Dear, the chances are slim.
"So love get them off here, we'll both have to swim.
So I let down the window and scampered
Chorus
So if ever you down to Dollymount Strand
Be sure that the tide's out and everything's grand
For a bird in the bush is worth two in the hand
Regardless to what you are after
Chorus
