Get Your Brits Out

[Móglaí Bap]

Guess who’s back on the news

It’s your favourite Republican hoods

It’s your fella with the Nike Air shoes

Two chains, two birds and we know what’s good

Guess who's back to abuse

Every solvent that I choose

Two blues and a pint of stout

And never you mind if it smells like trout, fuck

Guess who’s coming after me

But Stalford1and the DUP2

Every day, outside my house

"Go back to Dublin if you want to rap"

Now listen, I’m gonna say this once

Yous can all stay just don’t be cunts

And don’t be runnin' round like silly old Tans

Just take these yokes and we’ll go for a dance

Go for a dance, go for a dance

[Mo Chara]

The DUP was harassin' me

But now we’re all on the yokes3and it’s startin' to be

A good night out, they forgot all about

The time that I said something like ‘Brits Out’

Arlene’s throwing shapes half a yoke nearly killed her

Jeffrey Donaldson’s lost all his filters

"Here you go, mate, take two sticks"

He got me in a headlock and gave me a kiss

And now Christy Stalford’s4having the craic

Showing everyone his old tattoo on his back

Arlene says "Relax or you’ll get sacked"

I said “Take it easy,” things get weird when you're whacked

Brits out for the night and we landed in Thompson’s

Told Donaldson to double drop to see what happens

Sammy Wilson got knocked back at the door

And now he’s out the front in bad form

The best of nights, plenty of yokes to eat

Now there’s a bag of twenty, finished

These E’s are sweet, they’re sweet E's

I’m eatin 'em like sweeties, a big bag of cola bottles5 and a bag of Meanies6

Get your Brits out, get your Brits out, get your Brits out

We’re on a mad one

Get your Brits out, get your Brits out, get your Brits out

We’re on a mad one

Get your Brits out, get your Brits out, get your Brits out

We’re on a mad one!

Get your Brits out, get your Brits out, get your Brits out

We’re on a mad one

[Móglaí Bap]

Back at the house and things are getting crusty

Arlene on my left and she’s getting touchy

Must be, just because of the yokes

'Cause she whispered in my ear ‘I like to be choked’

And I boked7right into her face

'Cause the room was spinning all over the place

I couldn’t stand, couldn’t sit but I kept her lit

And now my best mate is a distinguished Brit

[Mo Chara]

We’re at the afters and it’s a disaster

Cunts are talkin' politics, there's a lack of a laughter

Skaggin' out on the sofa, Arlene’s sick

Paro off her head, she believes she’s sinned

Donaldson has started with his homophobic chat

So everyone has started on him that’s enough of that

Stalford’s lickin' coke off a plate

You’ve got issues mate

Issues mate

Get your Brits out, get your Brits out, get your Brits out

We’re on a mad one

Get your Brits out, get your Brits out, get your Brits out

We’re on a mad one!

Get your Brits out, get your Brits out, get your Brits out

We’re on a mad one

Get your Brits out, get your Brits out, get your Brits out

We’re on a mad one
