    You can talk about the concrete, and the boys who work the train
    The fellas in the hoppers, in the sun, and wind, and rain
    The boys who lay the blacktop, you ought to see them belt
    We're Workin' on the highway, laying hot asphalt
    There were boys from Connemara, County Mayo, and Kildare
    The Sligo pincher kiddies, sure all Ireland was there.
    We were working all around the clock, you should have seen his belt
    As we were racing up the highway, laying hot asphalt
    We laid it in the hollows, and we laid it in the flats And if it doesn't last forever, then I swear I'll eat me hat
    I've traveled up and down the world, and sure I never felt Any surface that was equal, to the hot asphalt
    We spread in the summer, and we laid it nice hot Two million yards or more of it, we had to roll the lot The sun was blazing down; until I thought me back would melt Working on the Motor highway, laying hot asphalt
    We laid it in the hollows, and we laid it in the flats And if it doesn't last forever, then I swear I'll eat me hat
    I've traveled up and down the world, and sure I never Felt any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt
    When you're speeding in your motor car and tearing through the shires
    And the only thing you're hearing is the humming of your tires
    You'll be riding soft and easy, with a road as smooth as felt
    Then don't forget the boys, who lay the hot asphalt
    We laid it in the hollows, and we laid it in the flats And if it doesn't last forever, then I swear I'll eat me hat
    I've traveled up and down the world, and sure I never Felt any surface that was equal to the hot asphalt

      I think I’m 8 years too late, but here you go! Hope your English is better now:
      You can talk about the concrete, and the boys who work
      the train
      The fellas in the hoppers, in the sun, and wind, and rain
      The boys who lay the blacktop, you ought to see them belt
      Workin' on the highway, laying hot asphalt
      There were boys from Connemara, County Mayo, and Kildare
      The Sligo pincher kiddies, sure all Ireland was there.
      We were working all around the clock, you should have seen his belt
      As we were racing up the highway, laying hot asphalt
      Chorus:
      We laid it in the hollows, and we laid it in the flats
      And if it doesn't last forever, then I swear I'll eat me hat
      I've traveled up and down the world, and sure I never felt
      Any surface that was equal, to the hot asphalt

    no body, and I mean NO BODY, has ever done a better version of this song, not even the original. I'm with other posters on one thing though, I would have liked to hear Shane have a go at this one.
