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
