I want to know the name of a song I heard a few days ago. It goes something like this: They come to our homes and they steal all our land, they chop off our heads and they boil them in oil, our children our leavin' and we've got no heads, we have no heads, we have no heads...

I forget the rest but if you could help me out I would appreciate it.

Oh yes...didn't Petala Clark sing this one in "Finian's Rainbow?" Fred Astaire had quite the dance to go with it too...

Seriously, thanks for the interesting challenge. Here's the lyrics:

Traditional Irish Folk Song
Denis Leary/Chris Phillips

They come over here and they take all our land
They chop off our heads and they boil them in oil
Our children are leaving and we have no heads
We drink and we sing and we drink and we die
We have no heads
We have no heads

They come over here and they chop off our legs
They cut off our hands and put nails in our eyes
O'Grady is dead and O'Hanrahan's gone
We drink and we die and continue to drink
O'Hanrahan
No'Hanrahan

They buried O'Neil down in country Shillhame
The poor children crying and fe dee din de
Hin fle di dinfle
Di din fle de din de
In hey bibble bibble
Hey bibble bibble
Hey fle bibble de
O'Hanrahan
No O'Hanrahan

We drink and we sing
And we drink and we sing
Hey!

We drink and we drive
And we puke and we drink
Hey!

We drink and we fight
And we bleed and we cry
Hey!

We puke and we smoke
And we drink and we die
Hey!


Well, isn't that delightful? I can only hope there's an actual recording with Mr. Leary presiding over the vocals. The website with this and other great lyrics:
