| I'll sing you a song of peace and love Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day To the land that reigns all lands above Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day May peace and plenty be her share Who kept our homes from want and care Ah, but God bless England did our prayer Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day So we say "Hip Hooray!" Come and listen while we pray Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day When we were savage fierce and wild Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day She came like a mother to her child Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day Gently raised us from the slime Kept our hands from hellish crime And sent us to Heaven in her own good time Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day So we say "Hip Hooray!" Come and listen while we pray Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day Our fathers oft were naughty boys Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day For pikes and guns are dangerous toys Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day From Bearna Baol to Peter's Hill We made poor England weep her fill Ah, but ould Brittania she loved us still Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day So we say "Hip Hooray!" Come and listen while we pray Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day Oh, Irishmen forget the past Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day And think of the time that's coming fast Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day When we will all be civilized Neat and clean and well advised Oh, won't Mother England be surprised? Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day So we say "Hip Hooray!" Come and listen while we pray Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day So we say "Hip Hooray!" Come and listen while we pray Whack fol the diddle fol the di dol day This page has been viewed 1752 times |
