Oh, it was old, but it was beautiful, And its colours they were fine.It was worn at Derry, Ockham, Enniskillen, And the Pine.Oh, me father wore it as a youth In the bygone days of yore,And it's on the twelfth I love to wear, The sash me father wore.And when the Scottish Nationalists stole this from Ireland it became a song about QueenElizabeth.You see, they never had a first Elizabeth in Scotland, so their point was, how can youhave a second Liz if the first one's never been?Oh, nae Liz the one, nae Laelibeth the twa, nae Liz shall ever be,For we'll make Ireland republican, and the Scottish break away.Oh now, Scotland has nae got a king, and she has nae got a queen,For how can you have a second Liz when the first one's never been?Oh, nae Liz the one, nae Laelibeth the twa, nae Liz shall ever be,And we'll make Ireland republican, and the Scottish break away.Now her man's called the Duke of Edinburgh, he's one of yon kilted Greeks,But I hope the wind blows his plaidy o'er for it's Lizzie wears the breeks.And nae Liz the one, nae Laelibeth the twa, nae Liz shall ever be,And we'll make Ireland republican, and the Scottish break away.And her sister Meg has a bonny pair o' legs, but she did nae want a German or a Greek,Peter Townsend was her choice, but he didn't suit the boy, so they sent him up the creek.Oh, but Meg was fly, and she got them by and by, with Tony hyphenated Armstrong.But behind the pomp and play, the question of the day was who the hell is Susie Wong?And nae Liz the one, nae Laelibeth the twa, nae Liz shall ever be,And we'll make Ireland republican, and the Scottish break away.So here's the help to the line, to the bonny rampant line, and a long stretch to his paw.Give the Hampton Roar, and it's oot the door, ta-ta-ta, to Cherley's Maw.And nae Liz the one, nae Laelibeth the twa, nae Liz shall ever be,And we'll make Ireland republican, and the Scottish break away.
