This is a song about an Irish dictionary,
That's right, a word book, a focal leabhair.
(G) Oh get out your focal
leabhair get (D) out your focal (G) leabhair
And (C) we'll have you speaking Irish (D) in a half an (G) hour,
Sea means
yes and (C) Níl means (D) no,
Get (G) out your focal leabhair and we'll (D) all have a (G) go.
The sweets that you chaw, there called a milseáin
A motorcar used to be a gluaisteán,
tíg is house and doras
is door,
Buy a focal leabhair and you'll learn a lot more
Oh get out your focal leabhair get out your focal leabhair
And we'll have you speaking Irish in a half an hour,
Sea
means yes and Níl means no,
Get out your focal leabhair and we'll all have a go.
If someone says to you conas atá tú
What their saying in English is how are you,
slán leat is how you say goodbye
Amoch
faoin spéir is under the sky,
Oh get out your focal leabhair get out your focal leabhair
And we'll have you speaking Irish in a half an hour,
Sea
means yes and Níl means no,
Get out your focal leabhair and we'll all have a go.
In school if you ever wanted to go to the loo
This bit of Irish will be handy to you
Cad a gum dul amach, ma
se do hulla
The teacher's asleep, Tá an múinteoir ina chodladh.
Oh get out your focal leabhair get out your focal leabhair
And we'll have you speaking Irish in a half an hour,
Sea
means yes and Níl means no,
Get out your focal leabhair and we'll all have a go.
Hay lad, do you see this ?
A bathroom is a seomra folctha,
A what ? a seomra folctha,
Will you hold your
whist Johnny
Or you'll get us all in trouble again.
If you don't know the girl that you're dancing with,
Just ask her her name, cad is ain m duit
When you leave
her home and she holds you tight,
Oíche mhaith is how you say good night.
Oh get out your focal leabhair get out your focal leabhair
And we'll have you speaking Irish in a half an hour,
Sea
means yes and Níl means no,
Get out your focal leabhair and we'll all have a go.
