A Pub Song

I don't know any songs that people are supposed to sing in the pub, but I've recently discovered one I think I'd like to learn. It's sung by Cowboy Mouth and the title is "Irish Boy."

Here is my transciption of the lyrics:

Irish Boy by Cowboy Mouth

Well, I had a drink with a friend of mine a week ago today
Who was celebratin' a month and a half too late Saint Patty's Day
Well, I bought him a round and he bought me a round and a bouncer bought us another
What's an average boy from a good family doin' in the gutter?

Well, we looked at each other and hand to laugh as we lay there in our stink
Well I woulda cried if I woulda thought that every time I thought I'd drink
And if this poor, old, grey-haired ma hadda seen us there she woulda shuddered
What's an average boy from a good family doin' in the gutter?

Well, my Irish friend, he liked to surf but me I couldn't swim
And he said that he could teach me how and I said I trusted him.
He swore he'd never let me drown he loved me like a brother.
What's an average boy from a good family doin' in the gutter?

Well, sure enough I drowned and I wound up at the pearly gate
Where Saint Peter said, "You're drunk as hell! Son, you shoulda ate!"
So, he sent me back down to get a bite but instead a bought another
What's an average boy from a good family doin' in the gutter?
What's an average boy from a good family doin' in the gutter?
What's an average boy from a good family doin' in the gutter?
