Rockin The Bronx lyrics
Songwriters: Kirwan, Larry;

I got a job in a band called Black 47
I was doin nothin special after 11
Oh we learned some tunes and wrote some songs
And we bought ourselves a drum machine to keep the beat strong

Well we bought the Irish people, the Echo and the Voice
And we rang a few bars, said, "We got a new noise"
And it would please us greatly to come on uptown
And show you paddies how we get on down

One o clock, two o clock, give us a chance
All we wanna do is be rockin the Bronx
3 o clock, 4 o clock what does she want?
The girl in black leather wants to
Rock in the, rock in the Bronx

Oh we got a gig in the village pub
But the regulars there all said that we sucked
Then big John Flynn, said, "Oh, no no
You ll be causin a riot if I don t let you go"

Then a Flintstones from the Phoenix gave us a call
When he heard the beat, he was quite appalled
"D yez not know nothin by Christy Moore?"
The next thing you be wantin is Danny boy

One o clock, two o clock, give us a chance
All we wanna do is be rockin the Bronx
3 o clock, 4 o clock what does she want?
The girl in black leather wants to
Rock in the, rock in the Bronx

Chris is chillin on the uileann but he isn t alone
Here comes Freddy on the slide trombone
Add a little guitar, Geoff Blythe on the sax
Gonna shoot you full of our New York fix

Then we went into the studio and made a tape
Frank Murray from the Pogues said, "I think that it s great"
Caligula said, "It could be a hit
And if it falls on its face, who gives a shit!"

Now everywhere we go we cause a fuss
Coz we play what we like and our sound is us
It s got a whole lot of hell and a little bit of heaven
That s the story so far of Black 47

One o clock, two o clock, give us a chance
All we wanna do is be rockin the Bronx
3 o clock, 4 o clock what does she want?
The girl in black leather wants to
Rock in the, rock in the Bronx

One o clock, two o clock, give us a chance
All we wanna do is be rockin the Bronx
3 o clock, 4 o clock what does she want?
The girl in black leather wants to
Rock in the, rock in the Bronx
