The Night Fatty Bolger Died - An Irish-Hobbit Drinking Song (Parody)

Подробнее о видео

It's St. Patrick's Day so I decided to do a "parody" of one of my favorite Irish drinking songs, "The Night Paddy Murphy Died." Fatty Bolger popped into my head while listening, so I just had to do it! Also, I highly recommend listening to any of the original versions (Darby O'Gill & Great Big Sea).

Happy St. Fatty's Day!

*Lyrics:*

Oh the night that Fatty Bolger died is a night I'll never forget!
Some of the Tooks got loaded drunk and they ain't got sober yet...
As long as a bottle was passed around, every Hobbit was feelin' gay.
Ol' Proudfoot came with the pipe weed and music for to play!

That's how they showed their respect for Fatty Bolger!
That's how they showed their honour and their pride!
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another,
And every drink in the place was full the night Fred Bolger died!!!

As Mrs. Bolger sat in the corner pouring out her grief,
A group of Brandybucks came tearing down the street!
They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole,
They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold!

That's how they showed their respect for Fatty Bolger!
That's how they showed their honour and their pride!
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another,
And every drink in the place was full the night Fred Bolger died!!!

About two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jug,
The Grubbs roll up the ice box lid to see poor Fatty's mug.
They stopped the clock so Mrs. Bolger couldn't tell the time,
And at a quarter after two, we argued it was NINE!!!

That's how they showed their respect for Fatty Bolger!
That's how they showed their honour and their pride!
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another,
And every drink in the place was full the night Fred Bolger died!!!

They stopped the hearse on Bywater outside the Green Dragon,
They all went in at half past six and staggered out at ten...
They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime;
Found out that when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind!

That's how they showed their respect for Fatty Bolger!
That's how they showed their honour and their pride!
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another,
And every drink in the place was full the night Fred Bolger died!!!

Oh the night that Fatty Bolger died...is a night I'll never forget...
Some of the Tooks got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet...
As long as a bottle was passed around, every Hobbit was feelin' gay.
Ol' Proudfoot came with the pipe weed and music for to play!

That's how they showed their respect for Fatty Bolger!
That's how they showed their honour and their pride!
They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another,
And every drink in the place was full the night Fred Bolger died!!!

And every drink in the place was full the night Fred Bolger died!!!
