Rafferty Will Come Lyrics

Get off the stage now Danny you're blocking all the view

We've got a sold out crowd you know they're not coming to see you

Put down the fiddle Clancy and stand right over there

Rafferty is coming soon and I think we'll need more chairs

In a pub just north of Dublin they got the dialect

The poster mentioned Grady but that was incorrect

Now gather round the table and raise ourselves a beer

Cause Rafferty is coming soon singing songs from yesteryear

They say he lives in Scotland and doesn't like to tour

But we've talked him into coming here it's practically next door

The heart and soul that's missing in so many lads these days

You'll find in this old timer as he prepares to take the stage

Put down the banjo Tommy it's time to start the show

People please be patient it's like waiting for Godot

So much anticipation for this legendary man

Now lets give him some encouragement

People please clap your hands

We can rush swig give him a jig it's all I got to say

Rafferty is coming soon he will show the way

We can think drink raise a stink until we're old and gray

Rafferty will mystify you once he starts to play

The leprechauns can bring it on unless they're all afraid

Rafferty will show e'm all

Rafferty will go it all

Rafferty might blow it all

Rafferty's a know it all

Cause he's certifiably insane
