The Rumjacks - An Irish Pub Song

An Irish Pub Song is the 2nd “single“ of The Rumjacks debut album ’Gangs Of New Holland’. It is a piss take at the explosion of Irish Pubs in Australia and the bastardisation of a culture. The video was filmed and directed by Nathan Macdonald for Fat Boy Films Australia. LYRICS: Theres a county map to go on the wall, A hurling stick a shinty ball, The bric, the brac, the craic all, Lets call it an Irish pub, Caffreys, Harp, Kilkenny on tap, The Guinness pie that cabbage crap, The ideal wannabee Paddy trap, We’ll call it an Irish pub, Whale, oil, beef, hooked! I swear upon the holy book, The only ’craic’ you’ll get is a slap in the ear, Whale, oil, beef, hooked! I’ll up burst yer filthy mug, If you draw one more shamrock in me beer! We’ll raise the price o’ beer a dollar, We’ll make em wear a shirt collar, We’ll fly a bloody tri-colour, And call it an Irish pub,
