Dustin The Turkey - Irelande Douze Pointe

Oh I come from a nation what knows how to write a song
Oh Europe where oh where did it all go wrong
C’mon, Irelande douze pointe

Drag acts and bad acts and Terry Wogan’s wig
Mad acts and sad acts, it was Johnny Logan’s gig

Shake your feathers and bop your beak
Shake ‘em to the west and to the east
Wave Euro hands and Euro feet
Wave ‘em in the air to the turkey beat
Irelande douze pointe! Irelande douze pointe!
Irelande douze pointe! To the funky beat

G-o-b gobble b-l-e yeah
Hello Abba, hello Bono, hello Helsinki,
Hola Prague, hello sailor, c’est la vie,
Auf wiedersehen, mamma mia and God save the Queen
G’day Austria, bonjour Serbia, you know what I mean

Shake your feathers and bop your beak
Shake ‘em to the west and to the east
Wave Euro hands and Euro feet
Wave ‘em in the air to the funky beat
Irelande douze pointe! Irelande douze pointe!
Irelande douze pointe! Irelande douze pointe!
Irelande douze pointe! Irelande douze pointe!
To the funky beat

Give us another chance, we’re sorry for Riverdance
Sure Flatley he’s a Yank and the Danube flows through France
Block votes! Shock votes! Give us your 12 today
You’re all invited to Dublin, Ireland
And we’ll party the shamrock way

Irelande douze pointe! Irelande douze pointe! I
relande douze pointe! Irelande douze pointe!
Irelande douze pointe! Irelande douze pointe!
Irelande douze pointe! Do the funky beat c’mon
Irelande douze pointe! Irelande douze pointe!

Eastern Europe we love you do you like Irish stew?
Or goulash as it is to you, Irelande douze pointe
Yes it’s Bulgaria we love you Belarus, Georgia,
Montenegro, Moldova, Albania, Croatia, Poland,
Russia, Ukraine, Macedonia, don’t forget Turkey,
Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia, Armenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina
and don’t forget the Swiss….. Cheese

Another novelty song. Out of all this years novelty songs, I like Latvia the best, and though I have a soft spot for Ireland, they have won enough Eurovisions already

this song is worth it for one line, ' Give us another chance, we’re sorry for Riverdance' and well, even the crowd in this song shows the controversy. First winner from Ireland, Dana, called for Ireland to withdraw from Eurovision rather than send this in.

look, it wont make it to the final, but it is better than what Dana gave us in 1970... 'All Kinds of Everything'
