Michael D. Rocking In The Dail

It might be raining and it might be cold,
and the bishop's gone and left the fold,
oh we're standing proud and we're walking tall,
we've got michael d rocking in the dail for us
michael d rocking in the dail
in the cabinet
A shining star for all who strive
to live and love creative lives
the signers-on with great ambitions
And mighty open-minded visions

we've got michael d rocking in the dail for us
michael d rocking in the dail
in the cabinet michael d rocking in the dail for us
michael d rocking in the dail

A poet of peace and a poet of words
of the beckoning free-thinking world
the poet of every class and colour
Of Pride parades and brave young mothers

we've got michael d rocking in the dail for us
michael d rocking in the dail
in the cabinet
michael d rocking in the dail for us
michael d rocking in the dail

The time has come and now's our chance
To sing and smile, get up and dance!

He's got the job, no better man
Ye've life on ye, Michael, Do all that you can
Welcome in and (shifted age??)
The dawn has come and we've turned the page!

(chorus again, We've got . . .)

Michael D, Michael D, up on his bike-el-dee,
Michael D, Michael D, givin' his all
Michael D, Michael D, up on his bike-el-dee
Michael D, Michael D, up in the Dail
(repeat)

Michael D lectured me in sociology
I was at UCG for the degree
He taught social policy, global equality
He was the king of the Arts Faculty
(repeat)

Michael D, Michael D, up on his bike-el-dee,
Michael D, Michael D, givin' his all
Michael D, Michael D, up on his bike-el-dee
Michael D, Michael D, rockin' the Dail!
(repeat)
