MacNamara's Band (Single Version)歌词

Oh, me name is MacNamara,
I'm the leader of the band
Although we're few in numbers,
we're the finest in the land
We play at wakes and weddings
and at every fancy ball
And when we play the funerals,
we play the March from Saul
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang
and the horns they blaze away
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
while I the pipes do play
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute
and the music is something grand
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band

Right now we are rehearsing
for a very swell affair
The annual celebration,
all the gentry will be there
When General Grant
to Ireland came he took me by the hand
Says he,
I never saw the likes of MacNamara's Band
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang
and the horns they blaze away
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
while I the pipes do play
And Henessee Tennessee tootles
the flute and the music is something grand
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band

Oh, my name is Uncle Julius
and from Sweden I did come
To play with MacNamara's Band
and beat the big bass drum
And when I march along the street
the ladies think I'm grand
They shout,
There's Uncle Julius playing with an Irish band!
Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks
and a uniform of green
And I'm the funniest lookin' Swede
that you have ever seen
There is O'Brians, O'Ryans, O'Sheehans and Meehans,
they come from Ireland
But, by yimminy,
the I'm only Swede in MacNamara's Band
Oh, the drums go bang and
the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
while I the pipes do play
And Henessee Tennessee tootles
the flute and the music is something grand
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band

That's MacNamara
