Style
Dropkick Lyrics

I've seen a lot of sights and traveled many miles
I have had a lot of experiences and went on many journeys

Shook a thousand hands and seen my share of smiles
I have interacted with many people and witnessed moments of happiness

I've caused some great concern and told one too many lies
I have worried people and been untruthful in the past

And now I see the world through these sad, old, jaded eyes
As a result, I now have a negative and cynical perspective on the world

So what if I threw a party and all my friends were there?
What if I were to host a party and invite all my friends?

Acquaintances, relatives, the girls who never cared
I would invite people I know, including family and former love interests

You'll have a host of rowdy hooligans in a big line out the door
My guests will include rowdy troublemakers eagerly waiting outside

Side by side with Sister Barbara, Chief Wells and Bobby 'Orr
Surprisingly, my guests will also include a nun, a police chief, and a retired hockey player

I'd invite the Flannigans
I would invite the Flannigan family

Replace the window you smashed out
I apologize for breaking your window and will fix it

I'd apologize the Sluggo for pissing on his couch
I regret urinating on Sluggo's couch and will apologize to him

I'll see Mrs. McAuliffe and so many others soon
I will soon see Mrs. McAuliffe and many other people I have wronged in the past

Then I'll say I'm sorry for what I did sleepwalking in her room
I will apologize for any inappropriate actions I may have done while sleepwalking in her room

So what if I threw a party and invited Mayor Menino?
What if I were to invite the mayor to my party?

He'd tell you to get a permit
The mayor would advise me to obtain a permit for the party

Well this time Tom I don't think so
This time, I am not going to follow Mayor Menino's advice

It's a neighborhood reunion
The party is meant to bring the community together

But now we'd get along
Despite disagreements in the past, we can all now come together and enjoy the party

Van Morrison would be there and he'd sing me one last song
Van Morrison would attend and perform a final song for me

With a backup band of bass players to keep us up all night
He would be backed up by a band of bass players to keep the party going all night long

Three handsome four string troubadours
There will be three talented four-string musicians performing as well

And Newton's own Fat Mike
The musician known as Fat Mike, who hails from Newton, will also be performing

I'll be in the can having a smoke with Garv and Johnny Fitz
I will be smoking in the bathroom with Garv and Johnny Fitz

But there's a back up in the bathroom
Unfortunately, the bathroom is backed up and causing problems

Cause the Badger's got the shits
This is due to someone nicknamed the Badger having diarrhea

You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary
I am not concerned about how I am buried or who I am buried next to

You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
I wouldn't care if I was cremated with whiskey poured on me

Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
Even if I am burned to a crisp and thrown out, I would be unfazed

I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
Ultimately, I am not concerned about my death as long as I go out in style

Spread my ashes all about
If I am cremated, scatter my ashes everywhere

Dump the sucker out
Alternatively, dump my body somewhere if I am not cremated

Toast me for a while
No matter what happens to my body, celebrate my life for a bit

Make me up dress me up
Even in death, I want to look good

Feed me a big old shot
I wouldn't mind being given a final drink

Of embalming fluid highballs
Even if it's embalming fluid instead of a real cocktail

So I don't start to rot
I don't want my body to decompose quickly

Now take me to McGreevy's
Bring my body to McGreevy's (a bar)

I wanna buy one final round
Even in death, I want to buy a final drink for everyone

That cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket
The bartender would even be cheap enough to peel an orange in his pocket

Then hurry up and suck 'em down
And rush to finish drinking the last round

If there's a god the girls you loved
If there is a god out there

Will all come walking through the door
The girls you loved may come into the afterlife

Maybe they'll feeld bad for me
Perhaps they will feel sympathetic towards me

And this stiff will finally score
And I will finally have romantic success, even in death

You've got the bed already
Someone has already arranged the bed for me in the afterlife

And the nerve and courage too
I have the bravery and daring to face whatever comes next

Cause I've be slugging from
Because I have been drinking heavily from

A stash of Desi Queally's 1980s
A collection of Desi Queally's homemade brews from the 1980s

Bathtub brew
The beer that Desi Queally brewed in his bathtub
