Danny O'Brien walks to the main road
All dressed up like he's got some place to go
Smiles as he greets all those folks on his way
He owes some of them money that he'll never repay
'Cos if good intentions means life's paved in gold
Then Danny's the richest man you've ever known
He's quick with a story, or regale you with song
But there's a jump to his step, ya, he'd best move along
In the town's square ahead
Where the main road ends
There's building tucked behind the ivy and holly
Danny sits in his usual place
Drink's ready to lift to his face
For tonight; like every night, he's King of the Jolly
Now the Jolly 'Ol Beggar since 1913
Has been serving libation by the family McQueen
And the seat where Dan's sitting; last held by Tom Blake
Was bequeathed to Danny at dear Tommy's wake
From that seat you can see the whole world come and go
And hear all the good craic, just to stay in the know
'n day after day the world keeps passing by
Says he'd love to be busy, but he doesn't have time
In the town's square ahead
Where the main road ends
There's building tucked behind the ivy and holly
Danny sits in his usual place
Drink's ready to lift to his face
For tonight; like every night, he's King of the Jolly
There's pictures of him on the wallpapered walls
Holding down his seat 'til just after last call
As he walks to the door all the regulars sing
As they give him a send off that's fit for a King
That's how each evening ends
Walks to the town's square ahead
'n if his timing's right he can grab the last trolley
Danny's finally home to his bed
Wife's sleeping beside him; unhappily wed
She's Queen of the house, but he's King of the Jolly
In the town's square ahead
Where the main road ends
There's building tucked behind the ivy and holly
Danny sits in his usual place
Drink's ready to lift to his face
For tonight; like every night, he's King of the Jolly
