lyrics

Since he was a guest at the estate he tried eating as proper as possible
But using tiny silverware for finger foods just felt ridiculously comical
So he laid down his fork and knife and put some bread rolls in his pockets
And he made an old Irish exit like a new Irish rocket

The station called him for questioning for apparently he was acting too suspicious
The estate owners charged him with insanity when he was just following traditions
So he told them where to meet him. His visit was too shocking.
And then he made an old Irish exit like a new Irish rocket

While they were all where he told them he’d be, he went back to the empty estate
He ate the rest of the food, all with his hands and left with the silverware and plates
He is a proud man and you don’t want to mock it
For he’ll make an old Irish exit like a new Irish rocket

He sold the silverware and plates to their neighbor across the road
And he never looked back even once as he disappeared into the unknown
He left all the money at a free clinic that night even though the doctor had locked it
And he made an old Irish exit like a new Irish rocket
