Lyrics
Get off the stage now Danny you're blocking all the view
We've got a sold out crowd you know they ain't coming to see you
Put down the fiddle Clancy and stand right over there
Rafferty is coming soon and I think we'll need more chairs
In a pub just north of Dublin they've got the dialect
The poster mentioned Grady but that was incorrect
Now gather round the table and raise yourself a beer
Cause Raftery is coming soon singing songs of yesteryear
They say he lives in Scotland he doesn't like to tour
We've talked him into coming here it's practically next door
The heart and soul that's missing from so many lads these days
You'll find in this old timer as he prepares to take the stage
Put down the bajo Tommy it's time to start the show
People please be patient it's like Waiting for Godot
So much anticipation for this legendary man
Now let's give him some encouragement people please clap your hands
We can rush swig give e'm a jig it's all I gots to say
Rafferty is coming soon and he will show the way
We can think drink raise a stink until we're old and gray
Rafferty will mystify you when he starts to play
The leprechauns can bring it on unless they're all afraid
Rafferty will show them all
Rafferty will go it all
Rafferty might blow it all
Rafferty's a know it all
Cause Rafferty
Is certifiably insane
