There's a ceilidh going on tonight
Paddy plays the banjo bright
the crowd all dancing with delight
down at Locklin's bar
Jigs and reels were flying past
give us a waltz if its not too fast
Sure I don't think my feet will last
down at Locklin's bar
It's one step, two step, three step four
All the girls are on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back
Driving all the old lads mad
It's one step two step three step four
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh
down at Locklin's bar
In the corner Dolly sits
Keep's an eye on husband Mick
You can bet your life she won't miss a trick
down at Locklin's bar.
And Sandy Kelly's at the door
Making moves across the floor
Legs like heir's not seen before
down at Locklin's bar.
Chorus
It's one step, two step, three step four
All the girls are on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back
Driving all the old lads mad
It's one step two step three step four
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh
down at Locklin's bar
All the boy's jump in the air
Throwing shapes like Fred Astaire
You never know who might be there
down at Locklin's bar.
Well now it's nearly five to four
The Gaurds are knocking at the door
The bar man shouts, do you want one more ?
down at Locklin's bar.
Paddy plays the banjo bright
the crowd all dancing with delight
down at Locklin's bar
Jigs and reels were flying past
give us a waltz if its not too fast
Sure I don't think my feet will last
down at Locklin's bar
It's one step, two step, three step four
All the girls are on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back
Driving all the old lads mad
It's one step two step three step four
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh
down at Locklin's bar
In the corner Dolly sits
Keep's an eye on husband Mick
You can bet your life she won't miss a trick
down at Locklin's bar.
And Sandy Kelly's at the door
Making moves across the floor
Legs like heir's not seen before
down at Locklin's bar.
Chorus
It's one step, two step, three step four
All the girls are on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back
Driving all the old lads mad
It's one step two step three step four
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh
down at Locklin's bar
All the boy's jump in the air
Throwing shapes like Fred Astaire
You never know who might be there
down at Locklin's bar.
Well now it's nearly five to four
The Gaurds are knocking at the door
The bar man shouts, do you want one more ?
down at Locklin's bar.
