Albert Farrington - It's a Long Way to Tipperary

Tekst piosenki:

[Verse 1]
Up to mighty London came
An Irish man one day
As the streets are paved with gold
Sure, everyone was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly
Strand and Leicester Square
'Til Paddy got excited
Then he shouted to them there

[Chorus]
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye, Piccadilly
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

[Verse 2]
Paddy wrote a letter
To his Irish Molly O'
Saying: "Should you not receive it
Write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in spelling
Molly, dear", said he
"Remember it's the pen that's bad
Don't lay the blame on me!"

[Chorus]
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye, Piccadilly
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

[Verse 3]
Molly wrote a neat reply
To Irish Paddy O'
Saying: "Mike Maloney wants
To marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly
Or you'll be to blame
For love has fairly drove me silly
Hoping you're the same!"

[Chorus]
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye, Piccadilly
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
