OPENER / BREAK

Circle Left
There's a ceilidh going on tonight, Paddy plays the banjo bright
The crowd all dancing with delight, down at Locklin's bar

Walk All Around the Corner girl, See Saw around your pretty little Taw,
Allemande Left the Corner and Weave around the Ring
It's one step, two step, three step, four, all the girls are on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back, Driving all the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh, down at Locklin's bar

Break Lyrics

Jigs and reels were flying past, Give us a waltz if its not too fast,
Sure, I don't think my feet will last, down at Locklin's bar

CLOSER

Sides Face, Grand Square
All the boy's jump in the air, Throwing shapes like Fred Astaire
You never know who might be there, down at Locklin's bar
Well now it's nearly five to four. The Guards are knocking at the door
The bar man shouts, “do you want one more?” down at Locklin's bar

Boys Promenade to greet all the girls on the floor
Swinging up and swinging back, Promenade with the old lads mad
It's one step, two step, three step, four,
The crowd were yelling out for more
The place was rocking what a laugh, down at Locklin's bar
