dubliners - prefad san ol lyrics
why spend your leisure bereft of
pleasure
a m-ssing treasure why scr-pe and save?
why look so canny at ev’ry penny?
you’ll take no money within the grave
landlords and gentry with all their plenty
must still go empty where e’er they’re bound
so to my thinking we’d best be drinking
our gl-sses clinking and round and round
king solomon’s glory, so famed in story
was far outshone by the lillies guise
but hard winds harden both field and garden
pleading for pardon, the lily dies
life’s but a bauble of toil and trouble
the feathered arrow, once shot ne’er found
so, lads and l-sses, because life p-sses
come fill your gl-sses for another round
the huckster greedy, he blinds the needy
their strifes unheeding, shouts “money down!”
this special vices, his fancy prices
for a florin value he’ll charge a crown
with hump for tramel, the scripture’s chamel
missed the needle’s eye and so came to ground
why pine for riches, while still you’ve st-tches
to hold your britches up? another round
