-
Up to mighty London
-
Came an Irishman one day
-
As the streets are paved with gold
-
Sure, everyone was gay
-
Singing songs of Piccadilly,
-
Strand and Leicester
Square
-
Till Paddy got excited
-
And he shouted to them there…
-
It’s a long way to Tipperary,
-
It’s a long way to go.
-
It’s a long way to Tipperary
-
To the sweetest girl I know!
-
Goodbye Piccadilly,
-
Farewell Leicester Square!
-
It’s a long long way to Tipperary,
-
But my heart’s right there.
-
Paddy wrote a letter
-
To his Irish Molly-O,
-
Saying, “Should you not receive it
-
Write and let me know!”
-
“If I make mistakes in spelling,
-
Molly dear,” said he,
-
“Remember, it’s the pen that’s bad,
-
Don’t lay the blame on me!”
-
It’s a long way …
-
Molly wrote a neat reply
-
To Irish Paddy-O
-
Saying Mike Maloney
-
Wants to marry me and so
-
Leave the Strand and Picadilly
-
Or you’ll be to blame
-
For love has fairly drove me silly:
-
Hoping you’re the same!
-
It’s a long way …
