the answer to the meaning of life
Me pipe, some fine ale
an' a good rollin' sea
these are the things an Irishman like me needs.

Keep yer politics, religion
an' social squabble
fer they cause nothin' but trouble,
an' fer a peaceful Irishman like me;
they are an' abomination
unlike me pipe, some fine ale
an' a good rollin' sea.

Lovers leave, loved ones die
an' friends turn,
to a softhearted Irishman like me,
they all three cause the soul to hurt,
unlike me pipe, some fine ale
an' a good rollin' sea.

With these three treasures
life has it's leisure,
each helps me body to relax
an' me mind to think clear,
a good thing fer a dreaming Irishman Like me.
So in me life there shall always be
me pipe, some fine ale
an' a good rollin' sea.
