MacNamara's Band |
| My name is McNamara I’m the leader of the band |
| although we’re small in numbers we’re the best in the land |
| I am the conductor and we often have to play |
| With all the best musicianers you’ll hear about today |
| Oh the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away |
| McCarthy pumps the old bassoon and I the pipes do play |
| and Hennessy Tennessy tickles the flute his work is somethin' grand |
| a credit to old Ireland is McNamara’s Band |
| Tra la la laaa, la la la laa laaaa, laaaa la la la laaaa |
| tra la la laaa, la la la laa laaaa, a credit to old Ireland is McNamara’s Band |
| We play at wakes and weddings and at every county ball |
| and every great mans at funeral we play the «March From Saul» |
| When the Prince of Wales to Ireland came he shooe by the hand |
| he said,"I've never seen the likes of McNamara’s Band" |
| When the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away |
| McCarthy pumps the old bassoon and I the pipes do play |
| and Hennessy Tennessy tickles the flute his work is somethin' grand |
| a credit to old Ireland is McNamara’s Band |
| Tra la la laaa, la la la laa laaaa, laaaa la la la laaaa |
| tra la la laaa, la la la laa laaaa, a credit to old Ireland is McNamara’s Band |
