The Day I Beat McKluskey

It's a drop of the pure for courage, & it's Sláinte one & all!
I hit the bully on the nose, & made the bully fall.
The day I beat McKluskey, I could hold me head up high;
It's a day that I'll remember well until the day I die.
I'm not the biggest person, or the bravest that you'll meet,
But the bully called McKluskey is a terror in the street.
I try to mind me business and be kind to every soul,
But drunk or sober that McKluskey's nothing but a troll.
It's a drop of the pure for courage, & it's Sláinte one & all!
I hit the bully on the nose, & made the bully fall.
The day I beat McKluskey, I could hold me head up high;
It's a day that I'll remember well until the day I die.
Now I buys a bottle o' whiskey every Friday after work,
And walking home, I often find McKluskey with a smirk
Who grabs me by the ear or slams a fist into me nose,
Then takes the bottle o' whiskey & then off McKluskey goes!
It's a drop of the pure for courage, & it's Sláinte one & all!
I hit the bully on the nose, & made the bully fall.
The day I beat McKluskey, I could hold me head up high;
It's a day that I'll remember well until the day I die.
McKluskey was a stealthy one, and so I lived in fear;
I never knew if I were safe, or if that fiend was near.
Those freckled fists were somewhere waitin' for me face to beat;
McKluskey was the meanest twelve year old you'd ever meet!
It's a drop of the pure for courage, & it's Sláinte one & all!
I hit the bully on the nose, & made the bully fall.
The day I beat McKluskey, I could hold me head up high;
It's a day that I'll remember well until the day I die.
The day comes when enough's enough o' being pushed around.
I'd suffer no more shame with that McKluskey on the ground!
I took a drop o' the craythur for to hold me courage well,
For that Colleen McKluskey is a little girl from hell!
It's a drop of the pure for courage, & it's Sláinte one & all!
I hit the bully on the nose, & made the bully fall.
The day I beat McKluskey, I could hold me head up high;
It's a day that I'll remember well until the day I die.
McKluskey had it comin', but I had to be discreet.
And sure enough, I saw her waitin' for me on the street.
I punched her squarely in the nose, and knocked her from her chair,
Then wheeled it back around the alley & rolled it down the stair!
It's a drop of the pure for courage, & it's Sláinte one & all!
I hit the bully on the nose, & made the bully fall.
The day I beat McKluskey, I could hold me head up high;
It's a day that I'll remember well until the day I die.
