lyrics

Well the world is full of badness there's no pint in denying
But when I looked at Tony I saw grace and I saw style
Woh oh hoe hoe Tony Dunne
A felle from the narrow bog a fella from the plains
A felle who wouldn't harm a fly no matter what they say
Woh oh hoe hoe Tony Dunne
One evening in Connallys Bar And Lounge he nursed a quite one
Then somewhere out of nowhere a lad took out a gun
Woh oh hoe hoe Tony Dunne
Well the barman shook in terror he raised his hands up high
But Tony said fxck all this and stuck a pint glass in his eye
Woe oh hoe hoe Tony Dunne
Well the blood was on the counter dripping on the floor
Tony called the Guards and said 'I have the little whore'
Who oh hoe hoe Tony Dunne
There's hero's in the movies theres heres on tv
But no-one matches Tony if you're asking me
Woh oh hoe hoe Tony Dunne
He's on the run, my number one, he's an only son...
