Laurie: Hey guys. Llaurador19 left a new message. She wants to know if we can do Irish Step dancing to Bill Whelan.
Carrie: Haven't done anything like that in a while. I don't see why waste a chance to bypass it.
Kitty: Me neither. Let's go for it.
The music began playing.
[Stephanie]
Hear my cry in my hungering search for you
Taste my breath on the wind
(close up of Stephanie and Sander's bare feet riverstomp dancing)
[Sanders]
See the sky as it mirrors my colors
Hints and whispers begin
[Mary with Ellody]
I am living to nourish you, cherish you
I am pulsing the blood in your veins
Feel the magic and power of surrender to life
Uisce Beatha
(close up of Mary and Ellody's bare feet riverstomp dancing)
[Emma and Kitty]
Every finger is touching, searchingMary
Until your secrets come out
In the dance as it endlessly circles
I linger close to your mouth
(close up of Emma and Kitty's bare feet riverstomp dancing)
[Laurie and Miles]
I am living to nourish you, cherish you
I am pulsing the blood in your veins
(close up of Miles and Laurie's bare feet riverstomp dancing)
Feel the magic and power of surrender to life
Uisce Beatha
The music ends.
Emma: That was fun trying out.
Carrie: Yeah it was. I actually want to do it again.
Laurie: Well, how about we do Another Irish Drinking Song.
Mary: You're on.
With that, Another Irish Drinking Song came on. No. Seriously, that's what the song is called: Another Irish Drinking Song by Da Vinci's Notebook.
[Intro: All]
Ya da da da
Da da da da
Da da-da da-da da
[Verse 1: Stephanie and Jen (with others)]
Gather 'round ye lads and lasses, set ye for a while (ah ah ah ah)
And harken to me mournful tale about the Emerald Isle
(close up of Stephanie's bare feet as she Irish step dances)
Let's all raise our glasses high to friends and family gone
And lift our voices in another Irish drinkin' song
Consumption took me mother
and me father got the pox
(close up of Jen's bare feet as she Irish step dances)
Me brother drank the whiskey 'till he wound up in a box
Me other brother in the troubles met with his demise
Me sister has forever closed her smilin' Irish eyes (ah ah ah ah)
[Chorus: All]
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more
(close up of everyone's bare feet while Irish step dancing)
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up, and then go drinkin' once again
[Verse 2: Emma and Kitty (with others)]
Kenny was killed in Kilkenny and Claire she died in Clare
Tip from Tipperary died out in the Derry air
Shannon jumped into the river Shannon back in June
Ernie fell into the Erne and Tom is in the Toome (ah ah ah ah)
(close up of Emma and Kitty's bare feet while Irish step dancing)
"Cleanliness is godliness," me Uncle Pat would sing
He broke his neck a-slippin' on a bar of Irish Spring
O'Grady he was eighty, 'tho his bride was just a pup
He died upon the honeymoon when she got his Irish up (HEY!)
[Chorus: All]
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more
(close up of everyone's bare feet while Irish step dancing)
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up, and then go drinkin' once again
[Break: Mary, Ellody, Emma and Kitty]
Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap
Ba-da-ba-da-bap, ba-dap
Ba-dap, ba-dap, ba-dap
Ba-da-ba-da-bap, ba-dap
[Verse 3: Mary and Ellody (with others)]
Joe Murphy fought with Reilly near the Cliffs of Old Dooneen
He took out his shillelagh and he stabbed him in the spleen
Well, Crazy Uncle Mike thought he was a leprechaun
But in fact, he's just a leper and his arms and legs are gone (ah ah ah ah)
(close up of Ellody and Mary's bare feet while Irish step dancing)
When Timmy Johnson broke his neck, it was a cryin' shame
He wasn't really Irish, but he went to Notre Dame
MacNamara crossed the street and by a bus was hit
But he was just a Scotsman so they all said forget it!
[Chorus: All]
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more
(close up of everyone's bare feet while Irish step dancing)
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up, and then go drinkin' once again
[Break: Carrie, Sanders, Stephanie and Kitty]
Da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Olé!
[Verse 4: Laurie and Miles]
Me drunken Uncle Brendan tried to drive home from the bar
The road rose up to meet him when he fell out of his car
Irony was what befell me Great Grand Uncle Sam
He choked upon the very last potato in the land (ah ah ah ah)
(close up of Miles and Laurie's bare feet while Irish step dancing)
Connor lived in Ulster town, he used to smuggle arms
Until the British killed him and cut off his lucky charms
And dear old Father Flanagan who left the Lord's employ
Drunk on sacramental wine beneath the altar boy (Hey!)
[Chorus: All]
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more
(close up of everyone's bare feet while Irish step dancing)
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up, and then go drinkin' once again
[Bridge: Stephanie, Sanders and Ellody]
Someday soon I'll leave this world of pain and toil and sin
The Lord will take me by the hand to join all of me kin
Me only wish is when the Savior comes for me and you
He kills the cast of Riverdance and Michael Flatley too
[Chorus: All]
Now everybody's died, so until our tears are dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more
(close up of everyone's bare feet while Irish step dancing)
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early mornin' light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up, and then go drinkin' once again
[Outro: All]
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up, and then go drinkin' once again x2
Hoy!
That was the end of the song.
Carrie: I love Irish step dancing.
Mary: I agree.
Kitty: Does that song get played every day?
Ellody: Not everyday. I hear most people play it on St. Patrick's Day.
Emma: So they do. Now we have an idea for one song to dance to when that day returns.
Stephanie: Hopefully, we'll all still be around for that kind of fun.
Everyone hugged Stephanie, letting her know they will always be together.
