[intro]
ah, the next song you should know very well
and don’t forget you’re being recorded!
so join in, for god’s sake

[verse 1]
oh, they say that the lakes of k!llarney are fair
no stream like the liffey could ever compare
if it’s water you want, you’ll get nothing more rare
than the stuff they make down be the ocean

[chorus]
the sea, oh the sea, oh, a grá geal mo chroí
long may it stay between england and me
it’s a sure guarantee that some hour we’ll bе free
thank god we’re surrounded bе water

[verse 2]
tom moore made these “waters” meet fame and renown
a great lover of anything dressed in a crown
in brandy the bandy oul’ saxon he’d drown
and throw ne’er a one into the ocean!

[chorus]
the sea, oh the sea, oh, a grá geal mo chroí
long may it stay between england and me
it’s a sure guarantee that some hour we’ll be free
thank god we’re surrounded be water
[verse 3]
oh, the scots have their whiskey, the welsh have their speech
their poets are paid about ten pence a week
provided no hard word on england they speak
oh lord, what a price for an ocean!

[chorus]
the sea, oh the sea, oh, a grá geal mo chroí
long may it stay between england and me
it’s a sure guarantee that some hour we’ll be free
thank god we’re surrounded be water

[verse 4]
the danes came to ireland with nothing to do
but dream of the plunder oul’ irish they’d slew
“well, you will in your viking” said brian boru
and he threw them back into the ocean!

[chorus]
the sea, oh the sea, oh, a grá geal mo chroí
long may it stay between england and me
it’s a sure guarantee that some hour we’ll be free
thank god we’re surrounded be water

[verse 5]
two foreign oul’ monarchs in battle did join
each wanting his head on the back of a coin
if the irish had sense they’d thrown both in the boyne
and partition throw into the ocean
[chorus]
the sea, oh the sea, oh, a grá geal mo chroí
long may it stay between england and me
it’s a sure guarantee that some hour we’ll be free
thank god we’re surrounded be water
