Well I consented to throw a ballnAnd out they all were turning,nAll the wise ones, one and all,nAll the men and women of learning.nAll of learning the lazy ways,nOf rag men and their brothers.nSlothful artistic fools,nWho were tossed out by their mothersnn[Chorus:]nAnd there is never enough beer,nTo put upon the table.nThere is never enough wine,nTo keep this party stable.nnThere is never enough boozenTo change this lonely weather.nThere is never enough beernTo keep anyone together.nnAll south of Earl and Meath,nDown by the liberties sectionnWhere mad man cough and bawl,nAnd suffer all class of infection.nTo entertain my dear old friends,nEvery whore and thief and tinker.nWho are loyal to the end,nFor they're loyal to a drink, sir.nn[Chorus]nnThere's just never enough booze,nTo keep the fires burning,nThere's just never enough beer,nTo keep the torment from returning.nnI toss and turn through every night,nSpent in agony and frustration,nFor I was born a wanderer,nOh a tireless occupation.nFrom town to town I go,nAll dreaming of a homeland,nThat I will never see,nFor I never liked my first one.nn[Chorus]
