Thunder and lightning is no lark
When Dublin city is in the dark
So if you've any money go up to the park
And view the zoological garden
We went out there to see the zoo
We saw the lion and the kangaroo
There was he-males and she-males of every hue
Up in the zoological garden
We went out there by Castleknock
Says she to me "Sure we'll court on the lock"
Then I knew she was one of the rare old stock
From outside the zoological garden
We went out there on our honeymoon
Says she to me "If you don't come soon
I'll have to get in with the hairy baboons"
Up in the zoological garden
Says she to me "It's seven o'clock
And time for me to be changin' me frock
For I long to see the old cockatoo"
Up in the zoological garden
Says she to me "Me lovely Jack
Sure I love a ride on the elephant's back
If you don't get out that I'll give you such a crack
Up in the zoological garden
Oh, thunder and lightning is no lark
When Dublin city is in the dark
So if you've any money go up to the park
And view the zoological gardens
For you Ronnie Goodnight.

you will be sadly,sadly missed sad_flower: 
you will be sadly,sadly missed sad_flower: I had passed by O'Donohues pub on Merrion Row last Tuesday with Sue in the car and mentioned it in passing during our tour as where Ronnie founded the Dubliners back in the late 1960's and thought of how ill Ronnie was as I spoke of him.
Passing Merrion Row yesterday, I was touched to see that there was two bouquets left outside so clearly somebody remembered the link.

Hi D. I remember you pointing that out to me. How sad. I was in O'Donohues on the Monday night of my stay in Dublin and saw some pictures on the walls. He's left a great legacy there.
