\nSO EVERYONE WAS GAY.

\nSTRANG AND LECEISTER SQUARE,
\nTIL PADDY GOT EXCITED
\nAND HE SHOUTED TO THEM THERE:
\nCHORUS
\nIT\u2019S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY,
\nIT\u2019S A LONG WAY TO GO.
\nIT\u2019S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY,
\nTO THE SWEETEST GIRL l KNOW.
\nGOODBYE PICADILLY.
\nFAREWELL LECEISTER SQUARE.
\nIT\u2019S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY,
\nBUT MY HEART\u2019S RIGHT THERE.
\nPADDY WROTE A LETTER
\nTO HIS IRISH MOLLY O\u2019,
\nSAYING, \u201cSHOULD YOU NOT RECEIVE IT,
\nWRITE AND LET ME KNOW.
\nIF I MAKES MISTAKES IN SPELLING,
\nMOLLY DEAR\u201d, SAID HE.
\n\u201cREMEMBER IT\u2019S THE PEN THAT\u2019S BAD,
\nDON\u2019T LAY THE BLAME ON ME.\u201d
\nREPEAT CHORUS
\nMOLLY WRITES A NEAT REPLY
\nTO IRISH PADDY O\u2019,
\nSAYING, \u201cMIKE MAHONEY
\nWANTS TO MARRY ME, AND SO \u2014
\nLEAVE THE STRAND AND PICADILLY,
\nOR YOU\u2019LL BE TO BLAME,
\nFOR LOVE HAS FAIRLY DROVE ME SILLY,
\nHOPING YOU\u2019RE THE SAME.\u201d
