the battering ram - the man from the daily mail lyrics

[verse 1]
“oh ireland is a very funny place, sir
it’s a strange and a troubled land
oh the irish are a very funny race, sir
every girl’s in cumann na mban
every doggie has a tri+coloured ribbon
tied firmly to its tail
and it wouldn’t be surprising i
f there’d be another rising,”
said the man from the daily mail

[chorus]
“every bird upon my word is singing treble – ’i’m a rebel!’
every hen and jay is laying hand grenades
over there sir, i declare, sir
and every c+ck in the farmyard
stock is crowing for the gael
and it wouldn’t be surprising
if there’d be another rising,”
said the man from the daily mail

[verse 2]
“now the other day i travelled down to clare, sir
and i spied in an old boreen
such a bunch of fenians there, sir
dressed in orange, white and green
they were marching to the german goose step
as they whistled “gráinne mhaol”
and i’m shakin’ in me shoes
as i’m sending out the news,”
said the man from the daily mail
[chorus}
every bird upon my word
is singing treble – ’i’m a rebel!’
every hen and jay is laying hand grenades
over there sir, i declare, sir
and every c+ck in the farmyard
stock is crowin’ for the gael
and it wouldn’t be surprising
if there’d be another rising,”
said the man from the daily mail

[verse 3]
“oh the country’s seething with sedition
it’s sinn fein through and through
all the people there are joining the provisionals
and the password’s sinn fein too
the ira sent me a time bomb in the mail
so bejesus and begorrah
i’ll be getting out tomorrow,”
said the man from the daily mail

[chorus]
“every bird upon my word is singing treble – ‘i’m a rebel!’
every hen and jay is laying hand grenades
over there sir, i declare, sir
and every c+ck in the farmyard
stock is crowing for the gael
and it wouldn’t be surprising
if there’d be another rising,”
said the man from the daily mail
[verse 4 + repeat of verse 1]
“oh ireland is a very funny place, sir
it’s a strange and a troubled land
oh the irish are a very funny race, sir
every girl’s in cumann na mban
every doggie has a tri+coloured ribbon
tied firmly to its tail
and it wouldn’t be surprising
if there’d be another rising,”
said the man from the daily mail
