"Macnas Parade" lyrics

I saw her in the Macnas Parade
Singin' and dancen' as the drummers played
Hoppin' and skippin' sure she made my day
I saw her in the Macnas Parade

The streets were black with people
Twas the finest day so far
All watching for the creatures
On their way to Noah's arc
She came hoppin' she came dancin'
Near the head of the parade
Twirling an umbrella
And singing about the rain

I saw her in the Macnas Parade
Singin' and dancen' as the drummers played
Hoppin' and skippin' sure she made my day
I saw her in the Macnas Parade

All the gang were rushing
To board at claddagh basin
There were preachers preaching "Please repent"
And even snails were racin'
God watched it from above
A handshaped cloud descended from the sky
Nothing that I saw was
More pleasing to my eye

I saw her in the Macnas Parade
Singin' and dancen' as the drummers played
Hoppin' and skippin' sure she made my day
I saw her in the Macnas Parade

I saw her in the warick
The first Friday last week
I tried to ask her dancin'
But I could hardly speak
I wonder what they'll think up
For the big parade next year
I'll tell you wan thing
That's for sure I'll be a volunteer

I saw her in the Macnas Parade
Singin' and dancen' as the drummers played
Hoppin' and skippin' sure she made my day
I saw her in the Macnas Parade

I saw her in the Macnas Parade
Singin' and dancen' as the drummers played
Hoppin' and skippin' sure she made my day
I saw her in the Macnas Parade

I fell in love at the Macnas Parade
