SingsIrish Songs Lyr Req: Parody of 'Where the River Shannon Flows' (27) Song ID help--Irish? Parody? other? 30 Mar 00

I received a plea for help, so I am posing the question to you fellow Mudcatters.

The person seeking the song lyrics wrote:

"OK, all I have are a few pieces of lyrics, but this is supposedly an Irish song (maybe more of a "Tin Pan Alley" type Irish song rather than a traditional one...). Anyway, it's something like

"You'll see British politicians and [something something something]
But you'll never see a Chinese laundry where the River Shannon flows" "

Does anyone have any ideas? I checked the following vintage sheet music sites but was unsuccessful: Lester Levy, Library of Congress' Music for a Nation, and Duke Univ's Historic American Sheet Music.

Thanks,

Mary
