Helicopter Song
It's up like a bird and it's over the city
"Three men are missin'!" I heard the warder cry
"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of these new Ministers," says the warder in the 'Joy
Early one morning as the branchmen, they were sleeping
A little helicopter flew across the sky
Down into the yard where some prisoners were walkin'
"Get ready for inspection" says the warder in the 'Joy
And it's up like a bird and it's over the city
"Three men are missin'!" I heard the warder cry
"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of these new Ministers," says the warder in the 'Joy
Down in the yard through the pushing and the shoving
Three of the prisoners they climbed upon the bird
And up and away they went into the grey skies
"I think there's someone escaping" says the warder in the 'Joy
And it's up like a bird and it's over the city
"Three men are missin'!" I heard the warder cry
"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of these new Ministers," says the warder in the 'Joy
"Search every hole, search every nook and cranny!
Let no man rest until these men are found
For this cannot happen to a law and order government!"
"I think you'll never find them," says the warder in the 'Joy
And it's up like a bird and it's over the city
"Three men are missin'!" I heard the warder cry
"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of these new Ministers," says the warder in the 'Joy
Over in the Dáil, they were drinkin' gin and brandy
The Minister for Justice was soaking up the sun
When came this little message that some prisoners had escaped 'em
"I think it's three of the Provos," says the warder in the 'Joy
And it's up like a bird and it's over the city
"Three men are missin'!" I heard the warder cry
"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of these new Ministers," says the warder in the 'Joy
And it's up like a bird and it's over the city
"Three men are missin'!" I heard the warder cry
"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of these new Ministers," says the warder in the 'Joy
"Three men are missin'!" I heard the warder cry
"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of these new Ministers," says the warder in the 'Joy
Early one morning as the branchmen, they were sleeping
A little helicopter flew across the sky
Down into the yard where some prisoners were walkin'
