IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS BACK IN IRELAND
THE MONKS THEY ALL WORKED ON THE LAND
AND THEY LEARNED OF ALL NATURE'S SECRETS
HOW TO GROW AND TO BUILD AND TO BLEND
NOW IN IRELAND THEY GREW LOTS OF BARLEY
AND THE WATERS WERE PUREST IN LAND
THERE WAS PLENTY OF TURF FOR THE BURNING
AND SOON THE MONKS BREWED UP A PLAN
AND WE'LL ALL DRINK THE POTEEN TOGETHER
FOR IT IS THE BEST IN THE LAND
YES WE'LL ALL DRINK THE POTEEN TOGETHER
WITH A TOAST TO OUR GREAT IRISH LAND
NOW THEY GATHERED THESE THINGS ALL TOGETHER
AND FOUND THAT THEY MADE QUITE A BREW
AND YOU'D NEVER HAVE GUESSED WHAT THEY CALLED IT
WHY IT'S POTEEN THE MOUNTAIN DEW
NOW SOON WORD WAS SPREADING THROUGH IRELAND
THAT THE SPIRIT OF LIFE HAD BEEN FOUND
AND SOON POTEEN STILLS WERE THE ORDER
IN EACH LITTLE VILLAGE AND TOWN
AND WE'LL ALL DRINK THE POTEEN TOGETHER
FOR IT IS THE BEST IN THE LAND
YES WE'LL ALL DRINK THE POTEEN TOGETHER
WITH A TOAST TO OUR GREAT IRISH LAND
NOW WHEREVER YOU GO ON THIS PLANET
TO THE NORTH THE SOUTH EAST OR WEST
TO SIDNEY OR BOSTON OR LONDON
YOU'LL FIND POTEEN IS ONE OF THE BEST
SO NOW WE HOPE THAT YOU'LL JOIN US
IN DRINKING THIS GREAT IRISH BREW
AND TO HELL WITH TH GOVERMENT HEALTH WARNING
ON OUR POTEEN THE MOUNTAIN DEW
AND WE'LL ALL DRINK THE POTEEN TOGETHER
FOR IT IS THE BEST IN THE LAND
YES WE'LL ALL DRINK THE POTEEN TOGETHER
WITH A TOAST TO OUR GREAT IRISH LAND
YES WE'LL ALL DRINK THE POTEEN TOGETHER
FOR IT IS THE BEST IN THE LAND
YES WE'LL ALL DRINK THE POTEEN TOGETHER
WITH A TOAST TO OUR GREAT IRISH LAND
