| [00:07.86] |
Oh, me name is MacNamara, |
| [00:10.00] |
I'm the leader of the band |
| [00:12.12] |
Although we're few in numbers, |
| [00:13.69] |
we're the finest in the land |
| [00:15.75] |
We play at wakes and weddings |
| [00:17.06] |
and at every fancy ball |
| [00:19.12] |
And when we play the funerals, |
| [00:20.81] |
we play the March from Saul |
| [00:23.09] |
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang |
| [00:25.04] |
and the horns they blaze away |
| [00:26.47] |
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon |
| [00:28.72] |
while I the pipes do play |
| [00:30.47] |
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute |
| [00:32.17] |
and the music is something grand |
| [00:34.11] |
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band |
| [00:37.76] |
|
| [00:52.53] |
Right now we are rehearsing |
| [00:54.28] |
for a very swell affair |
| [00:56.41] |
The annual celebration, |
| [00:57.54] |
all the gentry will be there |
| [00:59.79] |
When General Grant |
| [01:00.85] |
to Ireland came he took me by the hand |
| [01:03.61] |
Says he, |
| [01:04.39] |
I never saw the likes of MacNamara's Band |
| [01:07.14] |
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang |
| [01:09.39] |
and the horns they blaze away |
| [01:11.24] |
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon |
| [01:13.05] |
while I the pipes do play |
| [01:14.92] |
And Henessee Tennessee tootles |
| [01:16.18] |
the flute and the music is something grand |
| [01:18.62] |
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band |
| [01:22.24] |
|
| [01:36.86] |
Oh, my name is Uncle Julius |
| [01:38.62] |
and from Sweden I did come |
| [01:40.93] |
To play with MacNamara's Band |
| [01:42.62] |
and beat the big bass drum |
| [01:44.65] |
And when I march along the street |
| [01:46.53] |
the ladies think I'm grand |
| [01:48.28] |
They shout, |
| [01:48.53] |
There's Uncle Julius playing with an Irish band! |
| [01:51.72] |
Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks |
| [01:53.54] |
and a uniform of green |
| [01:55.54] |
And I'm the funniest lookin' Swede |
| [01:57.41] |
that you have ever seen |
| [01:59.03] |
There is O'Brians, O'Ryans, O'Sheehans and Meehans, |
| [02:01.29] |
they come from Ireland |
| [02:02.98] |
But, by yimminy, |
| [02:03.91] |
the I'm only Swede in MacNamara's Band |
| [02:06.44] |
Oh, the drums go bang and |
| [02:08.07] |
the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away |
| [02:10.76] |
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon |
| [02:12.20] |
while I the pipes do play |
| [02:14.26] |
And Henessee Tennessee tootles |
| [02:15.70] |
the flute and the music is something grand |
| [02:18.07] |
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band |
| [02:21.83] |
|
| [02:35.30] |
That's MacNamara |
