Over in McCanns there's a grand type of dance band a playing
and they're spinning out the continental ceili,
They're coming in their cars from the bars over in Leitir and Killane
just to hear the famous Gunter Reynolds playing
F
out the Star of Munster with Hans O'Donoghue
C
neatly tappin out a tango on the spoons,
such commotion will act like a lotion on the struttin at the
G7 C
Continental Ceili tonight.

Ciaran closes his eyes pretends he's in disguise
F C
