"Jump & Drink" written by Chris Giguere 1995

Patty O'MacKinski-Sven is a loveable composite character
He's proud of his own heritage though he was born in Canada
He's 1/8th Scots, two bits Swede, 7/16ths Bolivian
He's one third Dutch, 2/10th French
And the rest is Native American

Every day he goes to work in the same old dingey sweat shop dump
The boss man don't say anything except to jump when I say JUMP
No one seems to notice that something really stinks
He just cannot get over how much he needs to drink

At the local watering hole, he's sitting at the bar
He's listening to the music amazed that he's come so far
Tender sidles over and says without a wink
Man you cannot hang out here unless you buy a drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Patty knows if he takes a drink he won't stay in his seat
Knows he won't have time to think, dancing to the changeless beat
Tender sidles over and says without a wink
Man you cannot hang out here unless you buy a drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Jump Drink Jump
Drink, Jump, Drink

Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink, Jump and Drink
Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink, Jump, Drink...

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
‘Tis grace has brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home

When we’ve been here 10,000 years
Bright shining in the sun
When we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see, I
Was blind but now I see

Amazing Grace

a wildly fun time down at Kingston's finest irish pub the tir nan 'og for st. pats 2018.  and now for something a "little bit different" have always wanted to play this tune live for the folks - thought it would be a hit - and it was ...;)

Jump Around (House of Pain) St. Patricks Day 2018

although written initially for a previous federal election, the message rings true to this day... get on your coat, go out and vote - don't let someone decide for you... REMEMBER.. the largest voting block cannot be "none of the above"
sung by the talented Trevor Strong (Arrogant Worms) with guitar by Andrew Vanhorn and Fiddle by Brian Flynn... this isn't a tune that The Celtic Kitchen Party plas but I thought it was a damn fine little tune and wanted to share it...

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE (MUSIC & LYRICS: Trevor Strong, Andrew Vanhorn)

Get on your coat, go out and vote, Don’t let someone decide for you
If you want change, tell ‘em your name, Vote Vote Vote

I think I hear you saying, who voted for these guys
But you sat on your butt so you shouldn’t be surprised
Democracy needs everyone so give yourself a shove
Cause the largest voting block cannot be none of the above

Get on your coat, go out and vote, Don’t let someone decide for you
If you want change, tell ‘em your name, Vote Vote Vote

Last time you didn’t get who you wanted to elect
Now’s your opportunity to finally press eject
You might not find the perfect person you wanna be voting for
But sometimes its more important to show someone the door

Get on your coat, go out and vote, Don’t let someone decide for you
If you want change, tell ‘em your name, Vote Vote Vote

Civility GONE 
Privacy GONE 
Caring about the environment GONE
Census is GONE
Integrity’s GONE
N’ It won’t be long ‘til this government’s GONE

Cast your ballot and make a change, 
It’s time for the parliament to re-a-range

They take one thing then another but all is not lost
Cause we can send a message at the ballot box
A government‘s not family, no I know the y’re something else
But at least when you are sick of them, you can kick ‘em out the house

Get on your coat, go out and vote, Don’t let someone decide for you
If you want change, tell ‘em your name, Vote Vote Vote
Get on your coat, go out and vote, It’s one thing we all can do
Stop your complainin’, tell ‘em your name n’ Vote Vote Vote
Stop your complainin’, tell ‘em your name n’ VOTE, VOTE, VOTE

Vote, Vote, Vote (Trevor Strong, Andrew Vanhorn)

I Drank Too God Damned Much (Rev. F.J.H. Coffin, A. Vanhorn)

I was Drunk last night, and Drunk the night before, 
And gonna get drunk tonight like I never been drunk before, 
‘Cause when I’m drunk I'm as happy as can be; 
For I’m a proud member of a drinkin’ family  
		
Damn beer! Pass it here! Drink it up, and to the rear!  
i-gloo, gloo, gloo, i-gloo, gloo, gloo, 
i-gloo, gloo, gloo, i-gloo, gloo, gloo, 
You got a hang-over? (Not Yet!)  You gonna get one? (You bet!)	Aaaaargh 
			
Singin’ Glorious! Victorious! 
Singin’ one keg of beer for the score of us! 
Singin’ glory be you’re lucky that there are no more of us 
For one of us can drink it all alone! 

(Hey Mari), another one down!  
(Hey Mari) pick him off the ground!
Oh, we had to carry Mari to the ferry, 
Oh We had to carry Mari to the shore; 
And the reason that we had to carry Mari to the ferry 
Was that Mari couldn't carry any more.

Oh Here's to the Irish (Get Drunk! )
Here's to the Scottish (Get Drunk! )
Here's to America (Get Drunk!) 
I drank too god-damned much!

Oh Here's to the Irish(Get Drunk! )
Here's to the Scottish (Get Drunk! )
Here's to the English(Get Drunk! )
I drank too god-damned much!

Oh Here's to the Germans(Get Drunk! )
Here's to the Dutch (Get Drunk! )
Here's to Canada (Get Drunk! )
I drank too god-damned much!

.... yup that pretty much sums it up ;)

 "Wild Rover" is one of those 3/4 waltz tunes that I immediately decided to change (ha, ha) It's a classic tune of course but now I've thrown it into high tempo 4/4 time.  See what you think of it... [...Andrew]

Wild Rover

"Sandy’s got a brand new chanter, I’ve got a brand new drum 
Let’s go down to the market and we’ll, Buy four fifth’s of rum,
We’ll Sing and dance and play all night until the morning comes 
Sandy’s got a brand new chanter and I’ve got a brand new drum!"
