Does anyone have the non-politically correct version of this? All I can remember from old soldiers singing it in my youth was:

And we'll have little children/And we'll rear them neat and clean/To shout Up de Valera/And to sing about Sinn Fein

And we'll spike the guns/Of the Saxon huns/Down by the Liffey Side.

Thanks - that's a version, but a bit less, umm, outspoken than the one I knew as a chiseler.
