I was talking to a man the other day
When I was coming out of mass
And he said to me, "Jaysus, the sun would split the stones"
I says to him, "I tell ya
I knew it would be good weather when I woke up this mornin"
Why he said to me?
I said, "Sure wasn't there birds in the sky?"

Birds in the sky, you passin' by
When I'm with you, Heaven knows I wanna do it all, baby
Mmm, baby, baby
Oh, baby

Cattle in the field, you know the deal
If she's not blue, she won't do
Landini for real
There's no birds in the sky
'Cause there all in me car
Slammed to the floor
A Reeky Bora from 2004
If you want some green diesel
I'm the man for ye, I'm lethal
Playing Junior C, giving shoulders, never clean
'Ating bull nuts and sippin tea
I'm the best MC inside the country
Paddy Flynn, get on your knees

But a wonderous world of the party
Mmm, the party

Birds in the sky, you passin' by
When I'm with you, Heaven knows I wanna do it all, baby
Mmm, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby

After leaving mass
I put the foot down to awfully fast
Sure, there was a game in Kilglass (baby)
The beer garden overlooked the pitch
So I was raring to watch, with a glass of scotch (baby)
But it was that hot, me mate forgot
And got me cider extra dry (baby)
And we watched the birdies in the sky

Birds in the sky, you passin' by
When I'm with you, Heaven knows I wanna do it all, baby
Mmm, baby
Oh, baby

Put the foot down like I'm late for mass
Cans in the field and a litre of Buckfast
One pint, two pint, three pint, four
Get on the table and scream for the bor
Tell the lads and tell the lassies that there's a lift into town (mmm, baby)
Six in the backseat listening to jazzy (ohh, baby)
Dressing up and looking snazzy
Denim blue jeans, Agri jacket
Big brown boots, where'd ye have it?
She's no egg but she's some yolk
Foot on the trot, plenty of pork (plenty of pork)

Birds in the sky, you passin' by
When I'm with you, Heaven knows I wanna do it all, baby

As I'm sat taking in the view
Me mates shouts, "You, what are you looking at?"
I said, "That, the birds in the sky"
To which he replies, "Why?"
Sure what else would I be at?
I'd be worried if there wasn't birds in the sky
