Kiss My Irish Ass Lyrics

Oh the churchbells are ringin' in the schoolyard, And we all went out those days The bully said "Mick would you fancy a rumble?" I said "Yes, it's time to play!" Oh the nuns and the priests they grabbed their Rosaries As they pulled our bodies apart The bully said "Mick you lost the fight, but you gained my respect! You fight with so much heart!" We're as stubborn as mules With our blood on fire When we ain't at Sunday mass We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say Kiss my Irish ass! You better kiss my Irish ass! Oh the husbands and wives, they had a neighborhood pack They called 'em "Maggies White Trash Band" (White Trash!) I was way too young to understand that But if I did, I'd given right back Oh me dad, he'd be drunk on the lawn, Yelling and screaming like he do Sometimes my old man felt what he was feeling, Sometimes Mr. Mackey(not sure on the name) spoke the truth We're as stubborn as mules With our blood on fire When we ain't at Sunday mass We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say Kiss my Irish ass! You better kiss my Irish ass! Oh me grandpa passed through Ellis Island, From the greatest of the Motherlands For he worked, provided for his family He was a dedicated welding man And he knew right from wrong like day and night, He could whip any fool in a bareknuckle fight He talked of country like he preached of God, One hell of an Irishman! We're as stubborn as mules With our blood on fire When we ain't at Sunday mass We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say Kiss my Irish ass! You better kiss my Irish ass! Oooohh, I'm of a distant relation to John Redman, He was one of the greatest Irish Rebels of his day One bastrard to another, on down the line And this is what my son will say: We're as stubborn as mules With our blood on fire When we ain't at Sunday mass We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say Kiss my Irish ass! We're as stubborn as mules With our blood on fire When we ain't at Sunday mass We'll look any man straight in his eyes and say Kiss my Irish ass! You better kiss my Irish ass!
