Reluctant Patriot

Now paddy dearer now did you here
The awful things they say
Princess Margaret and lord Snowdon
They have joined the IRA
I They are drilling in the mogdon
To the sound of the fifth and drum.
Young Tony's tacking snapshots
While young Maggie fires the gun
While young Maggie fires the gun
While young Maggie fires the gun
Young Tony's tacking snapshots
While young Maggie fires the gun

When the news reached Dublin castle
de Valera jumped with joy
Said he now Joe's a comrade
He's a descent 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 pales
Filed the queen with much delight
She rerd up at prince Philip
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 tell ya
Theirs terrible things in the land
The queen and de Valera
They are waking hand in hand
Oh what's a funniest thing me boys
That I have ever seen
Prince Phillip playing polo
On his ass in St Steven green
On his ass in St Steven green
On his ass in St Steven green
Prince Phillip playing polo
On his ass in St Steven green

all the best ferret
