Chorus: Oh, it was the biggest mixup that you have ever seen
Me father he was orange and me mother she was green.
Oh, to church on Sunday morning with Mother I would go
Then later on the orange lot would try to save me soul.
Both sides tried to claim me, but I was smart because
I'd play me flute or play me harp, Depending where I was.
Now when I'd play those rebel songs, much to Me mother's joy
Me father would jump up and say, "Look here now, Bill me boy,
We've had enough of that stuff," And he tossed to me a coin
And he had me play "The Orange Flute" and "The Heros of the Boin(?)"
