Lyrics
Darby O'Gill: Oh, I wish I had time to sing you a song But when I get started, I sing all night long

King Brian: Oh, singin's no sin and drinkin's no crime If you have one drink only, just one at a time

Darby O'Gill: Oh, I wish all the rhymers were like Brian Connors When it comes to rhymin', he takes all the honors

King Brian: Oh, I knew you could sing when you opened your mug So you carry the tune and I'll carry the jug

Oh, I wish all barmaids Were like Mary McCluskey

Darby O'Gill: "McCluskey"?

King Brian: When she served you a drink Why, she served you good "whuskey"

But Mary, she married poor Jimmy McQueen 'Cause she wanted her name to rhyme with "poteen"

Darby O'Gill: Oh, I wish I was married to old Widow Tunney She's ugly as sin but has beautiful money

King Brian: Oh, I wish that all mortals were like my friend Darby He's full of poteen, but he's fuller of blarney

Darby O'Gill: I wish all the gentry were like the King Brian If he can't beat ya drinkin', He'll fall down a-tryin'
