The Eejit's Lament
The song opens with an energetic instrumental intro led by fiddle and bodhrán, with guitar and flute weaving in. Verses feature a thick Irish accent over acoustic guitar and accordion, framing a catchy hook. A lively jig with full ensemble and clapping erupts mid-song, closing on a wistful, melodic outro.

Lyrics
Instrumental Intro
Chorus
Oh, I'm a right eejit, that much is clear,
Last night's session was pure liquid cheer!
From whiskey to stout, I drank like a lord,
I drank beyond what I could afford!
Verse 1
I started at Murphy's, just one pint, says I,
But one turned to ten as the hours flew by,
Me mate Seamus said, "Jaysus, you're locked!"
I was singing me heart out, completely half-cocked!
Chorus
Oh, I'm a right eejit, that much is clear,
Last night's session was pure liquid cheer!
From whiskey to stout, I drank like a lord,
I drank beyond what I could afford!
Dance Break
Verse 2
Me head's like a bodhran, me stomach's a state,
This morning's a nightmare, I'm feeling dead weight,
I danced on the table, I kissed the bar maid,
Now me reputation's completely waylaid!
Chorus
Oh, I'm a right eejit, that much is clear,
Last night's session was pure liquid cheer!
From whiskey to stout, I drank like a lord,
I drank beyond what I could afford!
