Oh mother dear, your Danny's calling, From over on Australia's foreign shore, I've had to come to a land down under, Or waste away at home and draw the dole. The craic is good, there's work of plenty, These Aussie girls they love my turn of phrase, And bondis hot im learning surfing The barbie on oh these are happy days. Have we reached the bottom yet me boys, im digging deeper holes Poor Paddy's on the road again or else he's on the dole. Them bhoys in the pin strips wont loose out you can bet and your Man on the telly says it's us that pay there debt. Tell me lads is there any chance we reached the bottom yet 'Round and round the money goes where it stops nobody knows Oh danny boy your mothers calling its great to know your doing oh so well, I hear back home its a different story, To tell the truth old Ireland's gone to hell But life goes on I took up dancing a gang of us go out and hit the town But wait until hard times are over and dont come back till good times come around.
