The country is bleeding people
Now isn't that the craic.
The newsman smiles and tells us
That Aer Rianta;s made a Stack.

Aer Rianta's had a bumper year,
Oh my ! Oh my ! Oh my !
They celebrate  5 million seats,
It makes me want to cry.

He grins it out the happy news
They've made it £ for Pound,
(They've made it from the exiles,
Now for Xmas homeward bound ) !

I swear it's going to happen,
That a newsman with balloons,
With party hat and sparklers,
And bedecked in bright festoons.

He's going to laugh and tell us
Forty thousand people more,
Have booked their flights and packed their bags
And left their native shore.

He'll tell of record heart attacks
And driving drunks that killed
And say “Our Surgeons Made a Mint,
Now isn't 'That' a Thrill “ !

“Our crime is on the increase...
Unemployment still a shock !
But our legal boys have got a Rise” !
(More defendants in the Dock)

Well that's the News this Christmas
I hope you find it 'Funny',
'Cause just remember where there's Grief,
Someone's making lots of....... Money !
