A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
GD
A rough and tumble free-for-all
A
A broil, A brawl,A melee,
DGD
A ruckus to be reckoned with and now without delay
GD
We're taking the road to the Dodder on down
AD
To march in the last parade
A row, a ruction, a fracas, an affray
A rough and tumble free-for-all
A broil, A brawl, A melee,
A ruckus to be reckoned with if anyone wants to dare
We're taking the road to the Dodder on down
For the Donnybrook affair.

I will go, I will meet you there

I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
GCG
I will go, I will meet you there

But the council's up in arms,
DG
They aim to take it away, I swear!
CG
The council's up in arms
DG
They aim to take it away, I swear.
(D)
A license for leisure,
Whatever be the pleasure,
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
Break 1: D

Play the harp and play the fiddle,

Play the whistle too,

Bang the drum and use the lungs

But you fight, you might get tar-and-feathered,
GD
So, bow and say a prayer,
GD
To the Commission for the Abolition

I will go, I will meet you there
I will spend a week or two with you at Donnybrook Fair
I will go, I will meet you there
But the council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
The council's up in arms
They aim to take it away, I swear
A license for leisure,
Whatever be the pleasure,
The council's always up in arms
To try and take it away, hey!
