Do You Remember Jem? Lyrics

Do you remember Jem when we first stepped out,
You'd a pin striped suit and you wouldn't open your mouth.
But you really looked lovely, 'cept you shirt was sticking out.
Do you remember Jem? Do I remember, will I ever forget?
And the day picking winkles on Dollymount Strand.
The tide came in and nearly drowned our Gran.
And we had to push her home in a three wheel pram.
Do you remember Jem? Do I remember, will I ever forget?

And the day we went to the Phoenix Park
To look at the deer and sit in the grass. And you held my hand and asked for a kiss
But I wouldn't give in, cause I knew it was a mortal sin.
And then you said you loved me and promised a ring.
Do you remember Jem? Do I remember, will I ever forget?
And the hooley in house Stephen's night.
You met all the relations, and nothing went right.
And everybody thought you were mine little brother, cause you looked like Stan.
Cept he never ever got sick over Gran.
Do you remember Jem? Do I remember, will I ever forget?

And do you remember you changed my name?
You couldn't find the ring and Gran started praying.
And see looked in your waistcoat and poked you around.
And when she looked through your pockets your trousers fell down.
Do you remember Jem? Do I remember, will I ever forget?
And the singing and dancing back at the house.
Come to think of it now you were quite as a mouse.
But you shouldn't have poured the whiskey in Gran's bottle of stout.
I thought she was dead when we found her asleep in the wedding bed.
But it was gas, it was grand. And you had to sleep with me brother Stan.
Do you remember Jem? Do I remember, will I ever forget?

Well its forty years now we've been knocking about. Your much the same, and I haven't changed.
Cept me teeth aren't me own and you've got gout.
But you really look lovely, cept your shirt's sticking out.
Do you remember Jem? Do I remember, will I ever forget?
