Jolly, optimistic and fun.

Thanks to Mike Junk for helping me get this in order.

This song is the result of a bet with a drunken Celt who challenged me to write a song on this subject in 24 hours.

I declined the bet, but the ideas wouldn't let go.

She had forgotten about the bet the following day.

Hearing you

ALL IN MY HEAD

MERCY'S SMILE

Thanks to the Song A Week gang.
When I was young my parents taught good manners could not just be bought.

They can be learnt if they are taught, like Sunday clothes on Thursday

The parents are both now long gone. Traditions are kept by their sons.

If I could only keep the one - that’s Sunday clothes on Thursday

 

Kickin’ stones with Murphy’s boys. Granma shushing, ‘too much noise.

A wee dram for my golden boys in Sunday clothes on Thursday’.

 

Proudly walking up Main Street. Tip our caps to those we meet.

Local folk aren’t slow to greet in Sunday clothes on Thursday.

Nikky Newark’s drum and fife played her to the after life.

I bid farewell to my dear wife in Sunday clothes on Thursday.

 

Kickin’ stones with Murphy’s boys Granma shushing, ‘too much noise.

A wee dram for my golden boys in Sunday clothes on Thursday’.

 

My children have all learnt the songs. They’re schooled to know what’s right and wrong.

I’m sure that I have passed along - Sunday clothes on Thursday

When it’s time to quit this life Nikky Newark’s drum and fife

Will send me off to join my wife in Sunday clothes on Thursday

 

Kickin’ stones with Murphy’s boys Granma shushing, ‘too much noise.

A wee dram for my golden boys in Sunday clothes on Thursday’.

 

When I was young my parents taught good manners could not just be bought

They can be learnt if they are taught, like Sunday clothes on Thursday.

The parents are both now long gone. Traditions are kept by their sons

If I could only keep the one - that’s Sunday clothes on Thursday
