Reluctant Patriot
Well Paddy dear now did you hear the awful things they say
Princess Margaret and Lord Snowden they have joined the IRA
Aye they're drilling in the
mountains to the sound of the fife and drum
Young Tony's taking snapshots while young Maggie fires the gun
While young Maggie fires the gun
While young Maggie fires the gun
Young Tony's taking snapshots
While young Maggie fires the gun
When the news reached Dublin Castle de Valera jumped with joy
Says he 'now Joe's a comrade, he's a decent Irish boy'
'And as for Princess Maggie she's a darling sweet colleen'
And spread the news through Ireland from Strabane to Skibbereen
From Strabane to Skibbereen
From Strabane to Skibbereen
And spread the news through Ireland
From Strabane to Skibbereen
When the news it reached the palace filled the Queen with much delight
She reared up at Prince Phillip in the middle of the night
Ah says she now 'Get your Rolls Royce out get ready quick and soon'
We must reach dear old Ireland by the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
We must reach dear old Ireland
By the rising of the moon
Ah now Paddy dear I'll tell you there's terrible things in the land
The Queen and de Valera they are walking hand in hand
Oh but the funniest thing me boys that I have ever seen
Prince Phillip playing polo on his ass in Stephen's Green
On his ass in Stephen's Green
On his ass in Stephen's Green
Prince Phillip playing polo
On his ass in Stephen's Green
Princess Margaret and Lord Snowden they have joined the IRA
Aye they're drilling in the
mountains to the sound of the fife and drum
Young Tony's taking snapshots while young Maggie fires the gun
While young Maggie fires the gun
While young Maggie fires the gun
Young Tony's taking snapshots
While young Maggie fires the gun
When the news reached Dublin Castle de Valera jumped with joy
Says he 'now Joe's a comrade, he's a decent Irish boy'
'And as for Princess Maggie she's a darling sweet colleen'
And spread the news through Ireland from Strabane to Skibbereen
From Strabane to Skibbereen
From Strabane to Skibbereen
And spread the news through Ireland
From Strabane to Skibbereen
When the news it reached the palace filled the Queen with much delight
She reared up at Prince Phillip in the middle of the night
Ah says she now 'Get your Rolls Royce out get ready quick and soon'
We must reach dear old Ireland by the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
By the rising of the moon
We must reach dear old Ireland
By the rising of the moon
Ah now Paddy dear I'll tell you there's terrible things in the land
The Queen and de Valera they are walking hand in hand
Oh but the funniest thing me boys that I have ever seen
Prince Phillip playing polo on his ass in Stephen's Green
On his ass in Stephen's Green
On his ass in Stephen's Green
Prince Phillip playing polo
On his ass in Stephen's Green
