Danny Boy, Danny Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1: Everlast]
Peckerwood, peckerwood, tell me your tale
Please do explain why your skin's so pale
And you're so funky, now how can that be?
Like a bird in a tree you're on the T-O-P

[Verse 2: Danny Boy]
It's the Irish intellect, no one disrespect it
Or shit'll get hectic real quick
This is the House Of Pain (pain)
And plain is one thing we're not
Cause we know we've got
Style and fashion, smoke some hash and
I'm smacking up girls like cars were crashing

[Verse 3: Everlast]
Danny Boy, Danny Boy, the pipes are calling
Thought you was a winner, you was, now you're all in

[Verse 4: Danny Boy]
That's right, damn skimpy, you can't get with me
I run the whole track and leave you three laps back

[Verse 5: Everlast]
Chop suey don't do me no good
I gotta have corn beef and cabbage if I wanna manage
I'd never eat pig but I'll fuck up a potato
I'm not a dago, but pasta's all that
My pockets stay fat, so step the fuck back
You wanna move on me, you better bring an army

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
