Verse 1
D
It was in the year of '88
G
in the lovely month of June
A
When the gadflies were swarming
and dogs howling at the moon
D
With rosary beads and sandwiches
A
Joxer packed his German phrasebook
D
and jumpleads for the van
D
Some of the lads had never been
Em
away from home before
A
'Twas the first time Whacker put his foot
D
Before we left for Europe
G
we knew we'd need a plan
D
So we all agreed that Joxer
A
G
A
was the man to drive the van
Verse 2
D
In Germany the autobahn,
G
'twas like the Long Mile Road
A
There was every make of car and van
all carrying the full load
D
Ford Transits and Hiaces
G
and old Bedford from Tralee
A
With the engine overheating
D
from longhauling duty free
D
There was fans from Ballygermot,
Em
Ballybough and Ballymun
A
On the journey of a lifetime,
D
and the crack was ninety- one
D
Joxer met a German's daughter
G
on the banks of the river Rhine
D
And he told her she'd be welcome
A
G
A
in Ballyfermot any time

Verse 3
D
As soon as we found Stuttgart
G
we got the wagons in a ring
A
Sean Og got out the banjo,
Peter played the mandolin
D
There was fans there from everywhere
A
At the first Fleadh Ceoil in Europe,
D
and Joxer passed the round
D
But the session it ended
Em
when we'd finished all the stout
A
The air mattresses inflated
D
and the sleeping bags rolled out
D
As one by one we fell asleep
D
He dreamt himself and Jack Charlton
A
G
A
G
A
sat down to pick the team
Verse 4
D
Well, Joxer dreamt they both agreed
G
on Packie Bonner straight away
A
And that Moran, Whelan and McGrath
were certainly to play
D
But tempers they began to rise
G
and patience wearing thin
D
The dream turned into a nightmare,
Em
Joxer stuck the head on Jack
A
Who wanted to bring Johnny Giles
D
The cock crew in the morning,
G
it crew both loud and shrill
D
Joxer woke up in his sleeping bag
A
G
A
G
A
many miles from Arbour Hill
Verse 5
D
The next morning none of the experts
G
gave us the slightest chance
A
They said the English team would lead us
on a merry dance
D
With their Union Jacks all them English fans
G
for victory they were set
A
Until Ray Houghton got the ball
D
G
D
A
and stuck it in the net
D
What happened next is history,
Em
brought tears to many eyes
A
That day will be the highlight
D
Joxer climbed right over the top
G
and the last time he was seen
D
Was arm in arm with Jack Charlton
A
G
A
singing, Revenge for Skibereen.
Verse 6
D
Now Whacker's back in Inchicore,
G
he's living with his mam
A
Jack Charlton has been proclaimed
an honorary Irishman
D
But do you remember that German's
G
on the banks of the river Rhine
A
She showed up in Ballyfermot
