           COver (x32010@1)in McCann's there's a grand type of dance band a'playin'

And they're spinning out the continental ceilidh

They're comin' in their cars from the bars

Just to hear the famous Gunter Reynolds playing
 FOut (133211@1)the star of Munster with Hans O'Donoghue
                                    CNeatly (x32010@1)rappin' out a tango on the spoons

CWolfgang's (x32010@1)playin' on the comb someone shouts at him: "go home!"
