The Irish Navy |
The Clona, the Meabh and the Mucha |
The pride of the Irish navy |
When the Captain he blows on his whistle |
All the sailors go home for their tea |
While the army is off in the Kongo |
In Cyprus or some foreign parts |
Our navy is strained to the limits |
Deploying it’s nautical acts |
One day from the Russian invader |
Defending our very odd fish |
We found it was just the red herring |
From the signals we got from the cis' |
The Clona, the Meabh and the Mucha |
The pride of the Irish navy |
When the Captain he blows on his whistle |
All the sailors go home for their tea |
Each year they go on manoeuvres |
To prepare for defence they are keen |
Sometimes it’s the Lakes of Killarney |
More often the pond in the Green |
The canal it could be of assistance |
In defending our own holy ground |
But due to proposed legislation |
We’ll have to sail all the way round |
The Clona, the Meabh and the Mucha |
The pride of the Irish navy |
When the Captain he blows on his whistle |
All the sailors go home for their tea |
We are a seafaring nation |
Defence of our land is a right |
We’d fight like the devil all morning |
Provided we’re home by the night |
The Clona, the Meabh and the Mucha |
The pride of the Irish navy |
When the Captain he blows on his whistle |
All the sailors go home for their tea |
