Letra de Damn Near Died in Killaloe
A wedding invitation arrived out of the blue My cousin Tim was getting hitched to a girl from Killaloe He wanted me to be there, even though we'd never met And that wedding day in Killaloe is a one I won't forgetThe knot was tied in Killaloe He kissed the bride in Killaloe Got ossified in Killaloe Damn near died in KillaloeWell, I cleared the immigration, went straight up to the hooley I paid too much insurance for my rental from Dan Dooley 'Twas a tiny little Skoda, 'twas hardly four feet wide When we squeezed in, the steering wheel was on the other side And once we left the airport, I had an awful fright The cars were coming toward me, I was driving on the right I went the wrong way round the roundabout, I hadn't got a clue So I started driving backwards down the road to KillaloeI crashed my ride in Killaloe The knot was tied in Killaloe He kissed the bride in Killaloe Got ossified in Killaloe Damn near died in KillaloeSomehow they lost my luggage between Shannon and O'Hare No toothbrush or tuxedo, no socks or underwear I came in on a Sunday, so all the shops were closed So my cousins tried to fit me out in Uncle Barry's clothes Who knew what you could do with day-glo polyester With wingtips and a furry tie, I was tricked out like a jester Ten minutes 'til the service, so what else were we to do? That's time enough for a couple of rounds at the pub in KillaloeNo clothes had I in Killaloe I crashed my ride in Killaloe The knot was tied in Killaloe He kissed the bride in Killaloe Got ossified in Killaloe We damn near died in KillaloeWell, the church was locked when we Arrived, so we snuck around the side We jumped in through the window, landed right next to the bride The groom was hardly sober, so we helped him say "I do" I think we all got married in the church in KillaloeGot locked outside in Killaloe With a furry tie in Killaloe No clothes had I in Killaloe I crashed my ride in Killaloe The knot was tied in Killaloe He kissed the bride in Killaloe Got ossified in Killaloe We damn near died in KillaloeThen off to the reception at [?] Well into the champagne and we couldn't find the groom The best man gave a slurry speech, he rambled on and on And a pack of drunken uncles started singing rebel songs The ceili band played the Chicken Song, and then the Siege of Ennis Carly grabbed my hand and wheeled Me round, by Christ, she was a menace She threw me 'cross the floor, bounced me like a kangaroo We were dancing on the tables in the pub in KillaloeAnd I lost my pride in Killaloe Got locked outside in Killaloe With a furry tie in Killaloe No clothes had I in Killaloe I crashed my ride in Killaloe The knot was tied in Killaloe He kissed the bride in Killaloe Got ossified in Killaloe We damn near died in KillaloeNow, I know they say "What God has joined, let no man put asunder" But how anyone survived at all, it's a miracle and wonder And anyone who says there's nothing worse than Armageddon Has never been invited to a full-blown Irish weddingWell, I did survive in Killaloe My liver fried in Killaloe And I lost my pride in Killaloe Got locked outside in Killaloe With a furry tie in Killaloe No clothes had I in Killaloe I crashed my ride in Killaloe The knot was tied in Killaloe He kissed the bride in Killaloe Got ossified in Killaloe We damn near died in Killaloe
