FINNEGAN'S WAKE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

[based on quotes from the novel by James Joyce]

riverrun past Eve and Adam's
from swerve of shore to bend of bay
brings us by a commodius vicus
back to Howth Castle so them say

Sir Tristram violent amore
from over the short sea
had passercore just rearrived
from America the Free

to welterweight penisolate
his one and only war
topsawyer's rocks Oconee lied
don't knock it till you try

this is Finnegan's Wake
Finnegan's Wake make no mistake
this is Finnegan's Wake
so everything is jake

and all the greedy gushes out
through their tiny souls
one in a thousand years of nights
of Shaun or Shem a tale is told

they lived and laughed and loved and left
and left their theories there
I done my best when I was let
return to hear the where

thinking always if I go
then everything is done
a way a lone a loved a last
a long the riverrun

this is Finnegan's Wake
Finnegan's Wake make no mistake
this is Finnegan's Wake
so everything is jake
