Paroles de Macnamara's band
Irish Standard
Oh my name is mcnamara i'm the leader of the band
Although we're few in numbers we're the finest in the land
We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball
And when we play at funerals we play the "march from saul"
Oh the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
Mccarthy pumps the old bassoon and i the pipes do play
And hennessy yennessy toodles the flute and music is somethin' grand
A credit to old ireland is mcnamara's band
Tra la la laaa, la la la laa laaaa, laaaa la la la laaaa
Tra la la laaa, la la la laa laaaa, a credit to old ireland is mcnamara's band
Right now we are rehearsing for a very swell affair
The annual celebration all the genrty will be there
When general grant to ireland came he took me by the hand
He said,"i've never seen the likes of mcnamara's band"
Oh the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
Mccarthy pumps the old bassoon and i the pipes do play
And hennessy yennessy toodles the flute and music is somethin' grand
A credit to old ireland is mcnamara's band
Oh my name is uncle yuleous and from sweden i have come
To play in mcnamara's band and bang the big bass drum
As we go marchin' down the street the ladies think it's grand
They say,"i've never seen a swede in mcnamara's band!"
Oh the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
Mccarthy pumps the old bassoon and i the pipes do play
And hennessy yennessy toodles the flute and music is somethin' grand
A credit to old ireland is mcnamara's band
Well i wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green
"hey i'm the funniest looking swede that you have ever seen!"
"there's ryans, o'briens and sheehans and meehans they come from ireland
But by yimminy i'm the only swede in mcnamara's band
Oh the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
Mccarthy pumps the old bassoon and i the pipes do play
And hennessy yennessy toodles the flute and music is somethin' grand
A credit to old ireland is mcnamara's band
