lyrics

You want me to visit your mama and your poor old daddy at home, you can't leave your sister to spend the night alone but I ain't no babysitter for people who is fully growd. I'm a man of my word and my word is "no".

You want me to mind your handbag while you go to the loo, you must figure I've got nothing better to do than to stand here minding your baggage while you go powder your nose. I'm a man of my word and my word is "no".

They say there are many festivals that a fella like me can play but I must pay for transport and find somewhere to stay. If I wanted to work for nothing I would just say so. I'm a man of my word and my word is "no".

There are many great causes and many hungry folk, many a man is out of work and many, many more are broke but I don't give no donations just on somebody's say so. I'm a man of my word and my word is "no"

You say that your poor brother wants to make a loan, you say he needs the money for something, so and so but listen here, little honey, I don't give away my dough. I'm a man of my word and my word is "no"

You say you've got some friends staying for a week, they say they like your cooking, well ain't they got some cheek? They can stay in a hotel and they can eat at Joe's 'cause I'm a man of my word and my word is "no".

If The Dublin City Rounders were a dog it would be a pink bulldog with a cowboy hat, a studded leather collar and sporting a sleeveless denim jacket.

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
