Testo Sixteen jolly ravers Christy Moore

Sixteen jolly ravers

16 fishermen raving out on the town on E

16 peacocks leave their nest and go flying into mystery

they try to cut the spainish look but they look so untidy

dont eat too much you'll never get enough when you're flying into mystery

flyin into mystery when you should be out seafarin

run out the jib rig the boom step back reality

when their ship is on the ocean their nights are so empty

they're weary of the smelly fish and the wash of the salty sea

16 jolly ravers each one carrying his own caul

they believe it will keep death away when they face the angry squall

why face the angry squall when you could go go-go dancin

run out the jib rig the boom step back reality

to the 16 jolly ravers those girls look so fancy

you could ate your fry off the back of her neck if you want some more say please

when fishermen are feeling good they feel it musically

they go down singing shanties to the dancefloor all at sea

to the dancefloor all at sea 16 jolly ravers

run out the jib rig the boom step back reality

flyin in to mystery when you should be out seafarin

run out the jib rig the boom step back reality
