| Oh Ireland is a very funny place sir
|
| Its a strange and troubled land
|
| And the Irish are a very funny race sir
|
| Every womans a Cumann na mBan
|
| Every doggies got a tri-coloured ribbon
|
| Tied firmly to its tail
|
| And it wouldn’t be suprising
|
| If there’d be another rising
|
| Said the man from the Daily Mail
|
| Oh every bird upon my word
|
| Singing Yo Ho- Im A Provo!
|
| Every hen in Jail is laying hand grenades
|
| Over there sir, i do declare sir!
|
| And every old cock in the farmyard
|
| Stock singing triumph to Sinn Fein
|
| And it wouldn’t be surpising
|
| If there’d be another rising
|
| Said the man from the Daily Mail
|
| Oh the other day i travelled down from Claire sir
|
| I spied an old boreen
|
| Such a bunch of busy gooses there
|
| Dressed in orange, white and green
|
| They were marching to the German Goose step
|
| And whistling Grann na bheal
|
| And every time i showed up
|
| They would shoot me as a yeoman
|
| Said the man from the Daily Mail
|
| Oh every bird upon my word
|
| Singing Yo Ho- Im A Provo!
|

|

|
