Are We Going Out For One?

Written by Gearoid McCarthy

Should there be no harm done...

LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

CHORUS

Are we going out for one? 

Should there be no harm done

We're only going for the one

Are we going out for one? 

Should there be no harm done

We're only going for the one


Well it's 5 o'clock on a friday

Heading home after work

Round comes half 6 with a message from my friend

Are we going out for one? Should there be no harm done

We're only going for the one


CHORUS


Ah we get there and the craic is going good

Sure you wouldn't get it down in cricklewood

Sure we're dancing on the floor

And we're screaming for one more

We're only going for the one


CHORUS


On Saturday you'll surely need the curе

Before you know it you'll be hеading back for more

Sure you're only in the door

And you're right back on the floor

There's no need for a dinner anymore


CHORUS


Around comes Sunday morning like a train

Feels like my life will never be the same again

And down to the shop you go

For the jumbo breakfast roll

It's the only chance you'll have to cure your soul


CHORUS


Then Monday comes around

It's time to go to work

And when I walk in

My boss just goes berserk

Sure I haven't brushed my hair

And my brain is well aware

Another pint will drive me to despair


CHORUS x 2
