Reached the vessel at Le Havre
said my spouse: that was close
rushed to Killian's sailor bar
tapped my hat when I said:

Give me a pint of ice-cold Guinness beer
it's just a kind of have some fun
so I can find out why I am right here
cheers ev'ry one

Then we came to Rosslare harbour
saw the beach, soon we reached
left the ferry towards Kilkenny
had no drink, had to think:

Give me a pint of ice-cold Guinness beer
it's just a kind of have some fun
so I can find out why I am right here
cheers ev'ry one

Drove along Kilkenny castle
left the car, found a bar
TV showing Irish games
music loud, had to shout:

Give me a pint of ice-cold Guinness beer
it's just a kind of have some fun
so I can find out why I am right here
cheers ev'ry one

Next day's ev'ning into Dingle
we stepped in Lord Baker's thing
Mary and Phil Lynott's photo
on the wall, so I call:

Give me a pint of ice-cold Guinness beer
it's just a kind of have some fun
so I can find out why I am right here
cheers ev'ry one

Finally we went to Dunquin
Clasach road, brought us out
we arrived at Kruger's Pub
had no choice, heard my voice:

Give me a pint of ice-cold Guinness beer
it's just a kind of have some fun
so I can find out why I am right here
cheers ev'ry one
