Mcnamara's Band |
| Oh, me name is MacNamara, I’m the leader of the band |
| Although we’re few in numbers, we’re the finest in the land |
| We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball |
| And when we play the funerals, we play the March from Saul |
| Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away |
| McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play |
| And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand |
| A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara’s band |
| Right now we are rehearsing for a very swell affair |
| The annual celebration, all the gentry will be there |
| When General Grant to Ireland came he took me by the hand |
| Says he, «I never saw the likes of MacNamara’s Band» |
| Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away |
| McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play |
| And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand |
| A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara’s band |
| Oh, my name is Uncle Julius and from Sweden I did come |
| To play with MacNamara’s Band and beat the big bass drum |
| And when I march along the street the ladies think I’m grand |
| They shout, «There's Uncle Julius playing with an Irish band!» |
| Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green |
| And I’m the funniest lookin' Swede that you have ever seen |
| There is O’Brians, O’Ryans, O’Sheehans and Meehans, they come from Ireland |
| But, by yimminy, I’m the only Swede in MacNamara’s Band |
| Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away |
| McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play |
| And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is something grand |
| A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara’s band |
| That’s MacNamara |
