Sporting Day lyrics

They come from all around To celebrate the fair in town They stand together in their teams It's passion for the games They closed the Shannon bridge today Much traffic at Tinarana Bay The best athletes of county Clare Are gathered in this place All arrangements have been done Now they cheer, they spur and run They reach out for the cup Fighting for their local club Hooray, hooray, it's sporting day! The competitions have begun This challenge's moving everyone The goal is set, they're trying hard To gain the upper hand The trophy's glittering in the sun And hunting is a lot of fun This goblet is adornment It will grace the unino's shelf The crazy Limerick soccer guys They cheer aloud and clarify Their claim to win the match this time They're heading for the price All sportsmen try to score a coup It's once a year in Killaloe They trained a lot to be the best Their motto's, "Stand or fall!" All arrangements have been done Now they cheer, they spur and run They celebrate the cup in their poky local pub Hooray, hooray, it's sporting day! They drink a beer or two in the bars of Killaloe Hooray, hooray, it's sporting day!
