**LYRICS**
VERSE 1
What’s the craic? it’s Jamie bud
Forget about that fella Davey Sulls
Last time the cup was in Cork
I wasn’t even born

Nevermind the reigning champs
Got skills to bait the band
Bait them like we did to the cats
Then bring back the Liam Mac.

I want that cup
Fill it with Tanora take a sup
From Blackpool to Blackrock
Everybody better not backwash.

Queued up for the vaccine
Or any match, feen
Front row when I park my wheels
VIP down Parc Ui Caoimh.

They say I’m the king, 
Bow down and kiss the ring
I’m on a different thing
Give it my all like Christy Ring.

You don’t wanna cross that bridge
Doubtin us? Ya  Better stop that kid
Yulav a massive problem
Call up the main man Patrick Horgan.


CHORUS 
When it comes to swinging sticks and batin slitters, 
Cu Chulainn wouldn't get a look in with these heavy hitters, 
Cos in our history there's been victory ya we're medal winners  
And when it re re re repeats then you can rebel with us! 

Rebel with us! Yeah you can rebel with us! X 4



VERSE 2
Got so much skill in our county, 
O'Connor, O'Donoghue, Downey, 
Runnin rings around ye
Not our fault yer team is lousy

Coleman ate ye like a fritter
It be all over twitter 
If we lose I won't be bitter
But you might get a slap off a sliotar

Kingston’s men gonna hurt ye
Yer gettin’ bate with a hurley
Them boys will put up a fight
So we can paint the town red and white

I don’t talk ‘bout the mandem
I got them shams down shandom
Big up the boys down bandon
Cork county I am commanding


CHORUS 
When it comes to swinging sticks and batin slitters, 
Cu Chulainn wouldn't get a look in with these heavy hitters, 
Cos in our history there's been victory ya we're medal winners  
And when it re re re repeats then you can rebel with us! 

Rebel with us! Yeah you can rebel with us! X 4

Misneach - NO WORRIES (Track 1 Of 3 - Kabin Studio)

This is a song about how some women feel under pressure to look a certain way with the  constant need to uphold unrealistic beauty standards shown in the media. This song is to show women that there is no such thing as the “perfect look” and that each woman is beautiful in their own way.
