[00:09.43]In the town of Milton one Brian Flannigan
[00:12.20]Battered away till his money was spent
[00:14.37]Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again
[00:17.15]Bought a three decker with two floors for rent
[00:21.22]He threw a big party for friends and relations
[00:24.00]At a grand old place called Florian Hall
[00:26.35]And if you'll just listen, I'll make your eyes glisten
[00:28.71]To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball!
[00:31.47]Six long months I spent in Quincy
[00:33.91]Six long months doing nothing at all
[00:36.26]Six long months I spent in Quincy
[00:38.58]Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[00:41.29]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[00:43.57]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[00:46.10]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[00:48.33]Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[00:55.21]Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies
[00:57.61]Ziti and sauce for Mark Porzio
[00:59.98]There were Faheys and Bradys
[01:01.50]McCauliffes and Daleys, courtin' the girls and dancing away
[01:07.05]Brian Tully sang out in his finest form
[01:10.05]The patrons responded and I lead 'em all
[01:12.25]I'd spent six months at Forbes Academy
[01:15.05]Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[01:17.38]Six long months I spent in Quincy
[01:19.82]Six long months doing nothing at all
[01:22.22]Six long months I spent in Quincy
[01:24.83]Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[01:27.18]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[01:29.53]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[01:31.90]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[01:34.32]Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[01:37.15]🎵
[01:41.23]The boys were hammered, the girls were hearty
[01:44.18]Dancing around in couples and groups
[01:46.47]An accident happened when young Dennis Flemming
[01:49.05]Put his right leg through Miss Finneran's hoops
[01:53.59]This girl she fainted and cried bloody murder
[01:56.33]Called for her sons and gathered them all
[01:58.67]Christopher swore he'd go no further
[02:01.06]Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball
[02:03.65]Six long months I spent in Quincy
[02:06.23]Six long months doing nothing at all
[02:08.65]Six long months I spent in Quincy
[02:11.04]Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[02:13.30]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[02:15.76]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[02:18.37]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[02:20.62]Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[02:27.49]In the midst of the melee, Miss Collins fainted
[02:29.96]Her cheeks by now were as red as a rose
[02:32.61]Some of the boys decreed she was plastered
[02:35.03]Had a small drop too much, I suppose
[02:37.12]Young Scotty Jenkins, so big and able
[02:39.47]Saw his fair Colleen stretched by the wall
[02:42.09]Tore the left leg from under the table
[02:44.39]And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball!
[02:56.59]Boy oh boy, now this was a rumble
[02:58.82]Meself took a lick from mean Richard Green
[03:01.23]But I soon replied to that fine introduction
[03:03.58]And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen!
[03:06.55]Colin the piper nearly got strangled
[03:08.44]They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all
[03:10.90]The girls in the middle nearly got trampled
[03:13.29]And that put an end to Flannigan's ball
[03:15.72]Six long months I spent in Quincy
[03:18.28]Six long months doing nothing at all
[03:20.55]Six long months I spent in Quincy
[03:23.02]Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball
[03:25.71]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[03:28.02]I stepped out and I stepped in again
[03:30.49]I stepped out and I stepped in again
