Trying to find the lyrics for this, or better yet, some audio. Thanks

Isn't it just

Come on you boys in green
Come on you boys in green
Come on come on
Come on you boys in green (rep. ad nauseam)?

The tune is "Those were the days, my friend" as sung by sweet little Mary Hopkin all those years ago - about 1969, if memory serves me well. Ah yes, those were the days...

Almost time to take 'You'll never beat the Irish' out of the mothballs - if they keep playing with the same tenacity they've showed so far...

The Dublin City Ramblers made a version of it years ago, for the Football Championship in Italy. It's a bit longer than just repeating that line, but I haven't got the words. Sorry.

Its the same as the Dublin Gaelic Football supporters song Come on Ye Boys in Blue, except you sing Green everywhere you sing Blue in the other song !
