Just Another Night at Kells
Words and Music by Tom May


Just Another Night at Kells
And the songs are going well
Young people clap and dance across the floor
There's a pint in Jared's hand
And the band is playing grand
There's a line of Guiness at the bar
Waiting for the second pour
The waiter serves them quickly as he can

There is Scotch and Irish too
Whiskey for the likes of you
From Dublin Town and misty Isle of Skye
Kilted Doug is at the door
As the crowd cries out for more
From the kitchen there's the scent of shepherd's pie

Just Another Night at Kells
And the songs are going well
Young people clap and dance across the floor
There's a pint in Jared's hand
And the band is playing grand
There's a line of Guiness at the bar
Waiting for the second pour
The waitress serves them quickly as she can

In the distance I hear pipers
Walking toward the bar tonight
The drummer plays a pull tatoo to keep the time
Wee dancers step a reel, colored ribbons in their hair
Costumes brilliant with a Celtic cross design
Just Another Night at Kells
And the songs are going well
Young people clap and dance across the floor
There's a pint in Jared's hand
And the band is playing grand
There's a line of Guiness at the bar
Waiting for the second pour
The bartender serves them quickly as he can

There's a couple from New York
Taking comfort from the hearth
And some fellows at the bar from County Carlow
They have wandered to the west
Where the beer is brewed the best
To an Irish pub with the finest crack I know

Just Another Night at Kells
And the songs are going well
Young people clap and dance across the floor
There's a pint in Jared's hand
And the band is playing grand
There's a line of Guiness at the bar
Waiting for the second pour
The waiter serves them quickly as he can

Just Another Night at Kells
And the songs are going well
Young people clap and dance across the floor
There's a pint in Jared's hand
And the band is playing grand
There's a line of Guiness at the bar
Waiting for the second pour
The bartender serves them quickly as he can
