Ceili Rain - Tween The Jigs And The Reels lyrics

To see you dance would be a treat Hips and hands and legs and feet With all the joy your heart can feel To our new song "Tween the Jigs and the Reels"- c'mon You lads and la**ies here tonight To see you dance is a wonderful sight You swirl and twirl and kick your heels Spreading joy with your jigs and reels Well the dance you're doin' is a lot like life Back and forth and left and right We get confused as to what we feel With all that happens 'tween the jigs and the reels Well I lost my job three weeks ago The boss said: "Hate to see you go Here's fifteen bucks for a couple of meals You'll be fine, with your jigs and reels" Well he didn't know how right he was It got me mad and it woke me up To a simple truth that'd been concealed Life is what happens 'tween the jigs and the reels You may be sober, may be drunk But ponder this on which I've thunk If life is such a dubious deal How did we get these jigs and reels? Well if the devil's on our trail tonight He hopes we'll stumble in the dance of life But we swirl and twirl and kick our heels Well you can't catch me 'tween the jigs and the reels Well you can't catch me 'tween the jigs and the reels
