Hotel Libation

Irish Song Lyrics - Hotel LibationAuthor: Donal O’Shaughnessy

Welcome to the Hotel Libation
Now that we’ve accepted
your paid application
membership allows you
to enter and stay
Just follow the bylaws
and rules when you play

Never before could you have checked in
but now you’re a member
So the games will begin
Here’s a small nuance
They didn’t tell ya
aside from the rules
A small committee will judge ya

But some of the members
have some rules unwritten
As they sit at the bar
as meek as a kitten
Facts have no bearing
Upon their opinions
As they silently try
to control all the minions

There are committees to join
So you have have a say
And you’ll be accepted
Just don’t disagree

They will sell you their raffles
And hope you will win it
To get some of your cash
Be your friend for a minute

Our motto is friendship
So get on our train
Join in our family
And we’ll talk again

Our motto is unity
There’s me and there’s you
There will be no Division
By golly there’s two!

Where the drinks are so cheap
And advice is much cheaper
Opinions are free
And the psyche is deeper
