It’s Paddy’s weekender
We’re off on a bender
To get drunk as we possibly can

But aside from the boozing
It’s gigs you’ll be choosing
From hotpress.com’s list of bands

We’ve quite a collection
From trad to rock action
To pleasure your musical tastes

So keep your ears blissful
While you knock back a skinfull
And sing along while you get waste(d)
