Thread Name: Lyr Add: Maloney Wants a Drink (Behan)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Maloney Wants a Drink
And down in merrie England, politicos do dwell
And some, like Margaret Thatcher, seem to come up straight from Hell
But when old Maggie went away, for privacy, not fame
Twas there she found Maloney sweetly whispering her name!

So many years have come and gone, the Crown's still proud and true
The old queen Mum is gone by now, and so's her sister too
But on her Golden Jubilee, the Queen was heard to say
Where is Patrick John Maloney then? We need him on this day!!

(Cho.)

Cruel wars have raged and will again, this isn't something new
And once down in Crimea many boys and men were slew
But our dear Florence Nightingale saved officers and men
With dear old Paddy at her side, her front and back again!!

(Cho.)

When women in America were tryin' to get the vote
When men knew that they couldn't and they knew that fact by rote
But some they tried to change the law, and rioted instead
When poor old Susan Anthony found Paddy in her bed!!
