Текст песни
[Вступление] [Instrumental - bodhrán beat builds, tin whistle and fiddle call-and-response] [Куплет 1] Old barney bought a donkey at the county fair, Said it was a thoroughbred with silver hair. It took two steps forward, then sat right down, And brayed a little jig that shook the town! [Припев] So stomp your boots upon the floor, Set your worries at the door! Pass the ale and raise a cheer, We’ll dance until the dawn is near! [Куплет 2] The blacksmith tried to lead it with a golden carrot, The tailor tried to soothe it like a talking parrot. The cobbler brought some sugar, but the beast just grinned, And kicked the tavern door right off its hinge! [Припев] So stomp your boots upon the floor, Set your worries at the door! Pass the ale and raise a cheer, We’ll dance until the dawn is near! [Бридж] [Instrumental break - bouncy fiddle solo, crowd clapping along] [Whistle takes the melody, faster tempo] [Куплет 3] Now the donkey’s in the parlor, drinking all the stout, Singing merrily while the locals shout! If you want a pint, you’d better buy one fast, Before that thirsty donkey drinks the very last! [Припев] So stomp your boots upon the floor, Set your worries at the door! Pass the ale and raise a cheer, We’ll dance until the dawn is near! [Аутро] [Lively fiddle finish, final loud boot stomp, laughter]
