177 - It’s A Long Way To Tipperary
Verse 1
Up to mighty London came an Irish man one day
As the street are paved with gold, sure ev’ry one was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square
Till Paddy got excited then he shouted to them there:
Chorus
It’s a long way to Tipperary It’s a long way to go
It’s a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Piccadilly Farewell Leicester Square
It’s a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart’s right there
Chorus repeat
It’s a long way to Tipperary It’s a long way to go
It’s a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Piccadilly Farewell Leicester Square
It’s a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart’s right there
Verse 2
Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O’
Saying “Should you not receive it, write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear” said he
“Remember it’s the pen that’s bad, don’t lay the blame on me”
Verse 3
Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O’
Saying “Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you’ll be to blame,
For love has fairly drove me silly. Hoping you’re the same!”
Chorus 3
It’s a long way to Tipperary It’s a long way to go
It’s a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Piccadilly Farewell Leicester Square
It’s a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart’s right there
