Somebody once told me Gaelscoil is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of a "G" on her forehead Well, the years rang's start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to my Dialann and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to learn for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow [Chorus:] Hey, now, you're a Dalta, get your game on, go play Hey, now, you're a Gaeilgoir, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only Gaelscoil Choraín breaks the mold It's a cool classroom and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now wait 'til you get older But the teachers beg to differ Judging by the hole in the ripped picture The pages we read are getting pretty thin My water bottle's getting warm so I might as well swim My cóipleabhar's on fire. How about yours? That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored. Somebody once asked could I spare some change for a copy I need to get myself away from a nóta I said yep, what a concept I could use a little books myself And we could all use a little change Well, the years rang's start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to na rialacha and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to learn for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow.
