lyrics

Where grasses grow and waters flow in a free and easy way,
But give me enough of that rare old stuff, that's made near Galway Bay.
And policemen from Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too,
We'll give them a slip and we'll take a sip, of the rare old Mountain Dew.

Hi the dithery idle day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day
Hi the dither idlo day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day

At the top of the hill there's a neat little still, where the smoke curls up in the sky;
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell, that there's poteen brewing nearby;
It fills the air with an odor rare, and betwixt both me and you,
When home we roll we'll take a bowl, or a bucket of the Mountain Dew.

Hi the dithery idle day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day
Hi the dither idlo day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day

Now learned men who use the pen, they sing your praises high
That sweet poteen from Ireland green, distilled from wheat and rye;
Throw away your pills, it will cure all ills, Pagan or Christian or Jew
Take off your coat and grease your throat, with the rare old Mountain Dew

Hi the dithery idle day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day
Hi the dither idlo day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day

Where grasses grow and waters flow in a free and easy way,
But give me enough of that rare old stuff, that's made near Galway Bay.
And policemen from Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too,
We'll give them a slip and we'll take a sip, of the rare old Mountain Dew.

Hi the dithery idle day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day
Hi the dither idlo day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day
Hi the dithery idle day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day
Hi the dither idlo day, ditheri oodle idle day, Dithery oo di dithery i day
