MAN #1   (spoken)   Donal, you were born to marry a queen! Too bad she's a ... Pirate!      DONAL   Clan O'Flaherty men,   It's touching to see you   Friends should share   A great occasion like this   With the dawn I wed my O'Malley beauty   I'll need help to face   The challenge   Of wedded   Bliss      I can see you're laughing at me already   My bride's been a captain running a crew   But there is a war, and war brings a duty   This calls for a man to do   What a man   Must   Do      Boys'll be boys,   Lads'll be lads,   Living the way God planned   Showing women how the world ought to be      MATES   Boys'll be boys,   Lads'll be lads,   How to get her in hand?      DONAL   Honest, friends, the answer's right there   Have you never broken a mare?      DONAL AND MATES   Boys are boys, and boys, that's how it should be      BARMAIDS   Boys'll be boys   That is no girl   How will a lad survive   She's a sort of lady shark, as it were   After the drums   Wedding night comes   Who will come out alive?   She's been a captain running a crew   She's killed people, ran 'em right through   Sorry, Donal, lad, I'm betting on her   (DONAL trumps the laughter at his expense.)      DONAL   (holds up a gold coin; spoken)   A gold sovereign says that I, Donal O'Flaherty, will have her eating oats out of my hand within a week!      (sung)   I'll be rough when she needs it,   Rough as seas ever were   Up to know she's been steering   Now it's time to steer her      She's confused about gender   She been too long "at sea"   I may well have to beach her   Take her inland and teach her   What a woman should be      DONAL AND MEN   Boys'll be boys      BARMAIDS   Girls'll be girls      ALL   Gotta have one last fling   Gotta cram a lifetime in before dawn      DONAL   Tragic it's not   Want to know what?   Marriage won't change a thing:   Listen, friends, a conjugal vow   Doesn't change a bull to a cow      DONAL AND ALL   Married man or not the party goes on
