Dubliners - Prefad San Ol lyrics

Why spend your leisure bereft of Pleasure A ma**ing treasure why scrape and save? Why look so canny at ev'ry penny?

This special vices, his fancy prices For a florin value he'll charge a crown With hump for tramel, the scripture's chamel Missed the needle's eye and so came to ground Why pine for riches, while still you've stitches To hold your britches up? Another round
