The drinking dens are spilling out

There s staggering in the square

There s lads and lasses falling  bout

and a crackling in the air

Down around the dungeon doors

The shelters and the queues

Everybody s looking for

Somebody s arms to fall into

And it s what it is

There s frost on the graves and the monuments

But the taverns are warm in town

People curse the government and

Shovel hot food down

Lights are out in city hall

The castle and the keep

The moon shines down upon it all

The legless and asleep

And it s cold on the tollgate

With the wagons creeping through

Cold on the tollgate

God knows what I could do with you

And it s what it is

The garrison sleeps in the citadel

With the ghosts and the ancient stones 

High on the parapet

A Scottish piper stands alone

Cold on the tollgate

There s a chink of light

There s a burning wick

There s a lantern in the tower

Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick

Still writing songs in the wee wee hours

On Charlotte Street I take

a walking stick from my hotel

The ghost of Dirty Dick

Is still in search of Little Nell

And that s what it is

It s what it is now

It s what it is

(violin)

What it is, now, now, now...
