A Song Of The Loyal Irish
| Brian O'Higgins |

| Boys, O Boys! Listen here to me, We�re going to live in a State that�s Free, Good English citizens all we�ll be; And friends of the Princess Royal; If we only flop on our hands and knees And swear by George of the lands and seas To wipe the green from the Irish trees And for evermore be loyal. We�ll welcome George with a slavish smile We�ll greet him in real colonial style, Back out of his presence half a mile, Like English Whigs and Tories; We�ll damn the deeds of the true and brave Who are sleeping in many an Irish grave Bow down like beggars and humbly crave For a share in England�s glories. We�ll curse the name of the rebel Tone, And of every rebel our land has known And all who hated the English throne, And fought for the Irish Nation, We�ve torn up every oath and vow, We�re part of the civilised Empire now, And the annals of England will teach us how To make sure of our soul�s salvation! All hail the glorious Union Jack! (Though steeped in the blood of the white and the black) We�ll paste it to Ireland�s bended back To prove to the world she�s loyal; We�ll stifle her voice, we�ll drown her cries, We�ll blacken her face with loyal lies, Throw royal dust in her angry eyes And hooray for George the Royal!
