Long Night Ahead lyrics

Up from the west road, the boys are all coming down Back from the quest, holding riches all by the pound Eyeing up the tavern on the corner, it's looking 'bout time But up chimes the doorman: Now don't yis' be coming round Drunk and disordered and barred from the pubs in town But I spy the back door, and I spy the key on his side And it's one sleight of the hand, a flick of the wrist A slip of the tongue, a gamble to risk A drink in the dark, a girl not to miss A wink at the bar, a stranger to kiss Are yis' in for the long haul? 'Cause it's a long aul' night ahead And it's one, turns into two Turns into five, turns into nine Then it's twelve, turns into more The taps are gone dry, it's onto the wine And it's one too many again Drink up as the room is starting to spin And the bard is throwing his guts up Let's drink till we're thrown out again Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley The drinks are all flowing in, the lasses are looking well The barman remembers us, and so does the clientele And now I recall we made quite the impression last time Then up walks some tiefling, and doesn't she look the part And says she's no thief, but she thinks she could steal me heart Her man charges over, it looks like I'm crossing a line And it's one sleight of the hand, a flick of the wrist A slip of the tongue, a gamble to risk A drink in the bar, a girl not to miss She's here with your man, he's making a fist Are yis' in for the long haul? We've got a long aul' night ahead And it's one, turns into two Turns into five, turns into nine Then it's twelve, turns into more The bottles are gone, and so is the wine It's one too many again Drink up as the room is starting to spin And the party's surely a mess So boyo's, let's drink till we're thrown out again Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley The odds are against me, yer wan's man is towering But we have an ace here, eight lads and a paladin The mage sets him alight, and then the rogue takes out his leg Before you know, we have to leave, pick a new bar and try it again It's one sleight of the hand, a flick of the wrist A slip of the tongue, a gamble to risk A drink at the bar, a girl not to miss She couldn't be arsed, she knows that you're pissed Are yis' in for the long haul? It's been a long aul' night ahead And it's one, turns into two Turns into five, turns into nine Then it's twelve, turns into more The bard is asleep or maybe he's died It's far too many again Drink up as the room is starting to spin Sure, it was some craic in the end Drink up, 'cause I think that we've been barred again Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley Ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley-ley
