Whiskey in the Jar gets the Paddy's Valley treatment

| | Comments (0)

I have decided that the song for Paddy's valley needs to be more upbeat with this in mind I gave Whiskey in the Jar the west coast treatment.


(With Apologies to Phil Lynott and all Irish Trad musicians)

As I was going over the San Diego mountains,
I met with VC Farrell and his money he was counting,
I first produced my demo then produced my ND waiver,
Said sign here and I’ll deliver, for I am a brilliant programmer.

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's money in the jar

I counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny.
I put it in my pocket and I took it home to my jenny.
She said and she swore, that she never would deceive me,
but the devil take the women, for they never can be easy

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's money in the jar

I went into my chamber, all for to write the beta
I dreamt of Ferraris and helicopters and sure you couldn’t beat that,
But Jenny took my stocks and upped the pre money valuation,
Then sent for that VC Farrell to renegotiate the agreement.

It was early in the morning, as I rose up for travel,
The lawyers were all around me and likewise VC Farrel.
I first produced my laptop, for she stole away my contracts,
But I couldn't find the documentation so my beta it was taken.

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's money in the jar

If anyone can aid me, it's my brother in the army,
If I can find his office down in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he'll come and save me, we'll go investing near Kilkenny,
And I swear he'll treat me better than me darling sporting Jenny

musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's money in the jar
