Don't Let The Truth Get In The Way (of A Good Story) Lyrics - What's The Rumpus? - Gaelic Storm

On a steamer bound for Baltimore 

I said that's no fun, i've been there before 

So I jumped ship to Singapore 

With a cook from Mexico 

Got me a bowl of shark-fin soup 

I ducked into a bar for a couple a scoops 

Played some texas-stud with a circus troop 

and they cleaned me out of dough 

and they cleaned me out of dough

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

No harm, no foul, no crime 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

It'll get 'em everytime 

At dawn they all went back to bed 

So I went to Borneo instead 

Had a hair-of-the dog for my shrunken head 

With the sultan of Brunei 

Had a small bit of a seizure 

On the way to Micronesia 

Got a bad case of amnesia 

And forgot to say goodbye 

forgot to say goodbye 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

No harm, no foul, no crime 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

It'll get 'em everytime

Stopped in Tajikistan on the way to Iran 

Took a break in Jamaica to work on my tan 

I swam from Cayo Fragoso to Carriacou 

I climbed Machu Pichu in Darkest Peru 

Had a pint with the pope 

and played pool with the queen 

Who swam circles around a synchronized swimming team 

I once had a job riding bulls in Montana 

I taught Jimi Hendrix the star-spangled banner 

I've been to Morocco, Malawi, Macau 

I know how to fly, but I won't tell you how 

I've been to Morocco, Malawi, Macau 

I know how to fly, but I won't tell you how 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

No harm, no foul, no crime 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

It'll get 'em everytime 

Bought an ice cold coca-cola 

From a Congolese High-Rollah 

Got deported from Angola 

To a castle on the Rhine. 

Ask anyone that knew me 

The Emir of Bahrain sued me 

I was in a Blockbuster Movie 

And I didn't make a dime 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

No harm, no foul, no crime 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

It'll get 'em everytime 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

No harm, no foul, no crime 

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story 

It'll get 'em everytime
