Sittin' by the Clock on the Quay (pronounced Kay)

to the tune of "sittin' at the dock of the bay"

Listen to Sittin' by de Clock on de Kay here, as sung by Wellboy

Sittin' here readin the Sun,
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come,
Watching the tall ships roll in,
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' by the clock on the kay
Watching some ride stroll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' by the clock on the kay
Drinkin' wine

I left my home on Browne's Road,
Heading for the clock tower boy
'Cause I've got no-wan to work for,
And I'm looking for somewan to annoy!

So I'm just gonna sit by the clock on the kay
Watching some ride stroll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' by the clock on the kay
Drinkin' wine

Look like things are gonna change,
Everywan in the Deise wants the same,
We can do what ten other counties can do,
So I guess we'll just have to reign, yes

Sittin' here resting my arse,
Thinkin that road to Kilkenny's a farse,
It's two thousand metres to home,
So I think I'll call me ma' on the phone,

Now, I'm just gonna sit by the clock on the kay
Watching some ride stroll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' by the clock on the kay
Drinkin wine
