about

A quirky comedy song about renting a car in Ireland featuring the local Chicago Irish pub band, The Donnybrooks.

lyrics

Four years ago we took a trip to the Emerald Isle
When I look back on it the memories make me smile
We spent a week in dublin, touring museums and bars
And then off to letterfrack twas time to rent a car


So Buckle up tight
The left is now right
Try to stay on your side of the line
Take a deep breathe
It’s a gonna be a day

Try not to lose your (*HONK*) on the road to Galaway



The open road winds round and round mountains so pretty
The landscape really changes once you leave the city
It’s over stimulating your brain might explode
Cuz suddenly you might see a sheep in the road


So Buckle up tight
The left is now right
Try to stay on your side of the line
Take a deep breathe
It’s a gonna be a day

Try not to lose your (*HONK*) on the road to Galaway



It’s also terrifying from the passenger’s side
Cuz you’re sitting in the place where you’d normally be driving
The trees whip by so fast your foot reaches for the break
You suddenly shout watch your left so you don’t end up in a lake


So Buckle up tight
The left is now right
Try to stay on your side of the line
Take a deep breathe
It’s a gonna be a day

Try not to lose your (*HONK*) on the road to Galaway



If you ever find yourself driving on the left side
Here’s a little tip that will reduce some of the crying
Tilt your right hand mirror down so you can see the line
And as long as you can see it you’re doing fine

So Buckle up tight
The left is now right
Try to stay on your side of the line
Take a deep breathe
It’s a gonna be a day

Try not to lose your (*HONK*) on the road to Galaway


So Buckle up tight
The left is now right
Try to stay on your side of the line
Take a deep breathe

It’s a gonna be a day

Try not to lose your (*HONK*) EXTENDED CHAOTIC HONK MOMENT
on the road to Galaway
