Now Ireland is a very funny place sir, it's a strange and a troubled land
And the Irish are a bloody funny race sir, every girl's in the common the man
Every doggy has a three coloured ribbon tied firmly to his tail
And it wouldn't be surprising if there'd be another rice instead the man from the Daily Mail
Every bird upon my word is singing treble, I'm a rebel
Every hen in jade is laying hand grenades over there sir, I declare sir
And every cock in the farmyard stock grows a triumph for the gale
And it wouldn't be surprising if there'd be another rice instead the man from the Daily Mail
Well the other day I ventured down to Clare sir, and I spied in Old Boreen
Such a squad of right and busy ganders there sir, dressed in orange, white and green
They marched to the German goose step, and they whistled Granuel
And I'm shaking in my shoes as I'm sending out the news said the man from the Daily Mail
Every bird upon my word is singing treble, I'm a rebel
Every hen in jade is laying hand grenades over there sir, I declare sir
And every cock in the farmyard stock grows a triumph for the gale
And it wouldn't be surprising if there'd be another rice instead the man from the Daily Mail
Well the whole place is seeding with sedition, it's Sinn Féin through and through
All the paras they are joining local units, and the password Sinn Féin too
Every doggy has a three coloured ribbon tied firmly to his tail
And it wouldn't be surprising if there'd be another rice instead the man from the Daily Mail
Every bird upon my word is singing treble, I'm a rebel
Every hen in jade is laying hand grenades over there sir, I declare sir
And every cock in the farmyard stock grows a triumph for the gale
And it wouldn't be surprising if there'd be another rice instead the man from the Daily Mail
Every bird upon my word is singing treble, I'm a rebel
Every hen in jade is laying hand grenades over there sir, I declare sir
And every cock in the farmyard stock grows a triumph for the gale
And it wouldn't be surprising if there'd be another rice instead the man from the Daily Mail
