"It's A Long Way To Tipperary" lyrics
(1987 version)
Up to mighty London came
An Irishman one day
Singing songs of Piccadilly
So all the world was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly
Strand, and Leicester Square
'Til Paddy got excited and
He shouted to them there:
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
And the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell to Piccadilly
Goodbye, Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
It's a long way to Tipperary
And it's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
And the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell, Piccadilly
Goodbye, Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
La la la la, ladies and gentlemen
The great Mr. John McCormick sang this song all over the world
As well as Ms. Florie Fort from England
And many soldiers died to this great song and lived to this great song
Let's all sing in honor of them in the next
Like you did before, on the next, I'll tell you when
Listen, listen to the march, yes sir!
It's a long way to Tipperary, but my heart's right there!
Come on, let's start!
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
And the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell to Piccadilly
Goodbye, Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!
An Irishman one day
Singing songs of Piccadilly
So all the world was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly
Strand, and Leicester Square
'Til Paddy got excited and
He shouted to them there:
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
And the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell to Piccadilly
Goodbye, Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
It's a long way to Tipperary
And it's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
And the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell, Piccadilly
Goodbye, Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
La la la la, ladies and gentlemen
The great Mr. John McCormick sang this song all over the world
As well as Ms. Florie Fort from England
And many soldiers died to this great song and lived to this great song
Let's all sing in honor of them in the next
Like you did before, on the next, I'll tell you when
Listen, listen to the march, yes sir!
It's a long way to Tipperary, but my heart's right there!
Come on, let's start!
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
And the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell to Piccadilly
Goodbye, Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!
