It’s a Long Way to Tipperary

[1st Verse]
Up to mighty London came
An Irish man one day
As the streets are paved with gold
Sure, everyone was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly
Strand and Leicester Square
'Til Paddy got excited
Then he shouted to them there

[Chorus]
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye, Piccadilly
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

[Chorus]
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know in Tipperary!
Goodbye, Piccadilly
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

[2nd Verse]
Paddy wrote a letter
To his Irish Molly O'
Saying: "Should you not receive it
Write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in spelling
Molly, dear," said he
"Remember it's the pen that's bad
Don't lay the blame on me!"

[Chorus]
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know in Tipperary!
Goodbye, Piccadilly
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there

[Chorus]
It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know in Tipperary!
Goodbye, Piccadilly
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
