So Papa's got a brand new bag
What's the big deal
Up in the Bronx, Mary's gettin' drunk
Paddy's got a brand new reel

Workin' like a dog out in Queens
7 or 8 days a week
Goin' to confession is your granny's obsession
Paddy's got a brand new reel

I don't give a damn about you
'Cause you don't care about me
Hey Charlie Haughey, I'm sick of your Party
Paddy's got a brand new reel

And when I go back home
As I eventually will
Hey politician, better get a mortician
Paddy's got a brand new reel
