Am In the town of Milton one G Brian Flannigan battered away till his money was spent Am Then he hit a big one and felt like a man again, Am Bought a three decker with two floors for rent Am He threw a big party for friends G And relations at a grand old place called Florian Hall Am And if you'll just listen I'll make your eyes glisten Am To the rows and the ructions of Flannigan's ball. [Chorus:] Am G Six long months I spent in quincy, Am E Six long months doing nothing at all, Am G Six long months I spent in quincy Am Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball Am G I stepped out and I stepped in again, Am E I stepped out and I stepped in again, Am G I stepped out and I stepped in again Am Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball. Am Free beer on tap and wine for the ladies, G Ziti and sauce for mark porzio Am There were faheys and bradys, Am Mcauliffes and daleys courtin the girls and dancing away. Am Brian tully sang out in his finest form, G The patron's responded and I lead em all Am I'd spent 6 months at Forbes Academy Am Learning to dance for Flannigan's ball [Chorus] Am The boys were hammered the girls were hearty G Dancing around in couples and groups Am An accident happened you Dennis Flemming Am Put his right leg through miss Finneran's hoops Am This gal she fainted and cried bloody murder, G Called for her sons and gathered them all, Am Christopher swore he'd go no further Am Till he had revenge at Flannigan's ball [Chorus] Am In the midst of the melee G Miss Collins fainted her cheeks by now were as red as a rose Am Some of the boys declared she was plastered Am Had a small drop to much I suppose Am Young Scotty Jenkins so big and ableG G Saw his fair colleen stretched by the wall Am Tore the left leg from under the table Am And smashed all the dishes at Flannigan's ball Am Boy oh boy now this was a rumble myself G Took a lick from mean Ricky Green Am But I soon replied to that fine introduction Am And gave him a terrible kick in the spleen Am Talent the piper nearly got strangled, G They squeezed on his bellows, chanters and all, Am The girls in the middle nearly got trampled Am (pause) And that put an end to Flannigan's ball [Chorus] End on Am
