Out of smoke and rubble the Euro grows in power
United for the first time through peace instead of war
A noble state of being that’s doing pretty good
Making small adjustments to its progress as it should
And the Irish are delighted to be part of this success
Joining up with Europe cleared the Dublin/London mess
But lately we have noticed that there is something up
Whenever there’s a problem, the Dáil’s down in the pub
Or at the races or on holidays or junketing around
Or playing pass the envelope, rezoning common ground
Running rings around the Revenue Commissioners
Then passing on the baton and becoming new age pensioners
And while the Dáil was busy as described above
The Lisbon treaty came and went like chickens making love
The yes campaign staggered home arsefied and late
And were last reported opening up a can of Cowangate
