Lyrics:
I remember what my father said to me
Get the leaving cert and you'll be working soon you'll see
They named it well for as soon as I had passed
I had to leave my family and leave this country fast.

Will the last one to leave Ireland turn the lights out?
I don't think I ll be back for quite a while
Will the last one to leave Ireland turn the lights out?
Leave the key under the mat before you go
It almost broke my mothers heart to see me go
For me it was a novelty She had seen it all before
Her father in the 50's herself in 88
Three generations forced to surf the economic waves.

Will the last one to leave Ireland turn the lights out?
I don't think I ll be back for quite a while
Will the last one to leave Ireland turn the lights out?
Leave the key under the mat before you go

And now the politicians knock upon my door
Smile hold out their grubby hands vote for me once more
I remember all the times their door was slammed on me
And I shudder at the thoughts of why I to leave!
