 I Cmet her up on LeFeson Street of a TCuesday afternoFon

 In SuCmmer's fallen coFlours, sulCking back to scFhool

 I asCked her would she linFger, She asCked me would i sFtay

 Would i kCeep a girl in compFany, driCnking in the dFay?

 DriCnking, DriFnking

 DriCnking... not thiFnking

 DriCnking, DriFnking

 We'll go driCnking in the dFay

She was almost a woman, she was going on sixteen

She asked me to go walking, In Saint Stephen's Green

She said I love the sunshine, and to hear the children play.

But I won't be distracted when I'm drinking in the day.

With her flashing eyes and milk white lies she looked like a song

Like the ghost of a woman that first made me go wrong

She said I'll have a drink with you I said you'll have to pay

For a comprehensive education

Drinking in the day

Drinking, Drinking

Drinking and not thinking

Drinking, Drinking

We'll go drinking in the day

If her mother could have seen us on that bright November day

Botticelli and his angel perambulating Ormand Quay

A drunken blessed virgin, me rhetorious and gay

Bestowing ancient wisdom as to what made me this way

Deny your friends and family

To serve you must betray

Break and enter heaven

S teal but never save

Squander every penny

Empty every heart

Travel every darkened road

Never finish what you start

Always talk to strangers

Make love with whom you may

For God will find good company

for your drinking in the day

Drinking, drinking

Drinking and not thinking

Drinking, drinking

We'll go drinking in the day

So spend your youth on poetry, and spend your cash at play

Each line upon my face is for a girl who went away

A kiss, a song, are fleeting things and fame will always stray

So I'll tell the truth, the best spent youth, is the one you give away

Drinking, drinking

Drinking... not thinking

Drinking, drinking

We'll go drinking in the day

Drinking, drinking

Drinking... not thinking

Drinking, drinking

We'll go drinking in the day

Drinking, drinking

Drinking... not thinking

Drinking, drinking

We'll go drinking in the day

Drinking, drinking

Drinking... not thinking

Drinking, drinking

We'll go drinking in the day

Drinking, drinking

Drinking... not thinking

Drinking, drinking

We'll go drinking in the day

Drinking, drinking

Drinking... not thinking

Drinking...

there you go. pretty redundent. just listen to the song and you can figure it out.
