Young Dubliners Ooh La La Lyrics

"Oo La La"

Poor old grandad
I laughed at all his words,
I thought he was a bitter man
(When) He spoke of women's ways.
They'll trap you, and use you
And before you ever know;
For love is blind and you're far too kind,
don't ever let it show.

Chorus:
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was younger
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was stronger.

The Can-Can's such a pretty show
it steals your heart away
The backstage's back on earth again
the dressing rooms are great.
They come on strong and it ain't too long
for to make ya' feel a man.
But love is blind and ya soon will find
you're just a boy again.

I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was younger
I wish - that - I knew what I know now when I was stronger.

Oh yeah, oh yeah
oo hoo hooo oo hoo hooo

When you want her lips, you get her cheek
makes you wonder where ya are.
If you want some more then
she's fast asleep,
leaves you twinklin' with the stars.
Poor young grandson, there's
nothing I can say,
you'll have to learn just like me,
and that's the hardest way.

I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was younger
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was stronger.
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was younger
I wish - that - I knew what I know now
when I was stronger.

Ooh la la Ooh la la yeah yeah,
Ooh la la Ooh la la yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh La la Ooh la La
Ooh la la yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ooh la la
