There's a Raphoe for everyone

(Please read in your best Mickey Dees advertisement voice)

Now the Friels diners

And dole signers

And we work in the Boviners

Were just passing by…

 

And the hockey types

And jockey types

And around the racecourse walky types

Were just passing by

 

Those at the mart

Who like to start

At 6am to unload their cart

Were just passing by

 

And tech wans in blues

In threes and twos

Walking down to Tom McHughs

Were just passing by

 

And the twin cam boys

make lots of noise

In souped-up cars that look like toys

Just passing by

 

Those collecting pension

Pay attention

In case we didn’t give them a mention

Now this verse gets one line extension

Just passing by

 

Big Peter Shank

And the boys from the bank

And we can’t forget councillor Frank

Were just passing by

 

Those at the session

At Shorty’s discretion

Who try to sneak out in quick succession

Were just passing by

 

There’s the priest who walks

And a Dean who shocks

By putting a big star up on the clock

Just passing by

 

And the boys in the scheme

Who’d love to scream

And drown every litter bug in a stream

Just passing by

 

There’s a Raphoe for everyone…
