  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Stored in a quaint "jewel-case", this so-called "compact disc" will amuse your friends with its obsolescence. This historical oddity arrives pre-opened so you don't have to struggle with shrink wrap, and is signed on the inside cover by the entire band using their actual names. If a band member signs with an alias, your money will be speedily refunded. Banish worries of buyer's remorse and purchase, purchase, PURCHASE!

lyrics

Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed.
Come join with me, each jovial blade.
Come booze and sing and lend your aid
And help me with the chorus!

(Chorus)
Instead of spa we'll drink down ale
And pay the reckoning on the nail.
No man for debt shall go to jail
From Garryowen and glory!

We are the boys who take delight in
Smashing the Limerick lights when lightin'.
Running through the streets like sporters fightin'
And tearing all before us!

(Chorus)

We'll break the windows, we'll break the doors.
The Watch will fall by threes and fours.
Then we'll let the doctors work their cures
And tinker with our bruises!

(Chorus)

Our hearts so stout have won us fame.
For some 'tis known from whence we came.
Where 'ere they go they've read the name
Of Garryowen and glory!

(Chorus)
