the original lyrics:

Ho brother Teague did you hear the decree
Lillibolero bullen a la,
That we shall have a new deputy,
Lillibolero bullen a la,

Chorus:
Lero, lero, lillibolero
lillibolero bullen a la,
lero, lero, lillibolero,
lillibolero bullen a la.

There was an old prophecy found in a bog,
Lillibolero bullen a la,
We shall be ruled by an ass and a dog,
Lillibolero bullen a la,

CHORUS:

Now that old prophecy has come to pass,
Lillibolero bullen a la.
Talbots the dog, and James is the ass,
Lillibolero bullen a la.

CHORUS:
