This song is lighthearted to say the least. It is filled with lots of Irish humor and is very funny.
CM has used various lyrics for this over the years. This one is from his own website:
"And then I dreamt I was in the jacuzzi with that auld hoor from No. 10"
('auld hoor from No. 10' instead of 'along with Alice Glenn')
Here, "that auld hoor from No. 10" translates to "that old whore from No. 10 (Downing St.)", which would be a very derogatory reference to Margaret Thatcher. This makes perfect sense, since they couldn't come from more distant sides of the political spectrum.
It is pretty hilarious once you understand this slur! :)
