Sporting Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They come from all around
To celebrate the fair in town
They stand together in their teams
It's passion for the games
They closed the Shannon bridge today
Much traffic at Tinarana Bay
The best athletes of county Clare
Are gathered in this place
All arrangements have been done
Now they cheer, they spur and run
They reach out for the cup
Fighting for their local club
Hooray, hooray, it's sporting day!
The competitions have begun
This challenge's moving everyone
The goal is set, they're trying hard
To gain the upper hand
The trophy's glittering in the sun
And hunting is a lot of fun
This goblet is adornment
It will grace the unino's shelf
The crazy Limerick soccer guys
They cheer aloud and clarify
Their claim to win the match this time
They're heading for the price
All sportsmen try to score a coup
It's once a year in Killaloe
They trained a lot to be the best
Their motto's, "Stand or fall!"
All arrangements have been done
Now they cheer, they spur and run
They celebrate the cup in their poky local pub
Hooray, hooray, it's sporting day!
They drink a beer or two in the bars of Killaloe
Hooray, hooray, it's sporting day!
