A Sound In The City By Peter McDonald.

Chorus: There's a sound in the city tonight Raise your voice And sing a song of love all around Let no man or woman be without it. There's a sound in the city tonight All rejoice A sound of joy, every girl and boy Let the people rise and shout it. There's a good crowd gathering in the tavern tonight And there'll be drink and making merry all around. Working hard through the day to receive a bit of pay But tonight we're the talk of the town. Sure as Clancy never smiles, look at all the miles Everybody's traveled just to be here tonight. We got nothing to lose, we can do as we choose We're together, everything is all right. (Repeat chorus) Now the girls are looking well, but they're talking like hell And the romeos want to call it quits. And it's the time of the year to make your sympathies clear Up the rebels and down with the Brits. Richard's getting no richer, but his mind is always quicker Better wake up the singer next door. And when the music begins you'll be up and on your pins And joining in to sing the chorus once more. (Repeat chorus) Here's to working the day, singing evenings away Here's to friends who make it all worth the while. Here's to beer always cold, here's to seven years old Here's to girls who cheer me up with a smile. Here's to nights at the shore, here's to living next door Here's to all the fun that time will allow. Here's to what the future brings, here's to thee that I sing All our best times are happening now. (Repeat chorus)
