[Chorus]F They've got one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,Dm They got four of them in Sydney andC Am a couple in Kathmandu.Dm So whether you sing or pull a pintF C you'll always have a job,Dm 'Cause wherever you go around theC Dm world you'll find an Irish pub. [Verse 2]Dm Now that design is fairly simpleF C and it usually works the same,Dm You'll have "Razor Houghton"C Am scoring in the Ireland-England gameDm And you know your in an Irish pubF C the minute you're in the door,Dm For a couple of boys with bodhransC Dm will be murdering Christy Moore. [Chorus]F They've got one in Honolulu they've got one in Moscow too,Dm They got four of them in Sydney andC Am a couple in Kathmandu.Dm So whether you sing or pull a pintF C you'll always have a job,Continues after the adDm 'Cause wherever you go around theC Dm world you'll find an Irish pub.
