Great piss-take of the Irish rebel song by Ding Dong Denny O Reilly.
Spoken intro:
...Ballads have been sung since before people wiped their arses and as long as there's rivers, drink, and bloody Brits people will continue to sing them. So sit back and experience that warm feeling deep down you can only get from an Irish ballad or when you're pissing your trousers.
THE CRACK WE HAD THE DAY WE DIED FOR IRELAND
(Woodfull, Rooney)
One frosty morn a rebel nose
did smell the British comin'
and Pearse said you must come and fight
or else you're a big frilly woman
so we went to catch the rebel bus
but me ma said hold your whist
if you don't ate up your coddle
well you'll feel no British fist.
Well the bus left oul' Fitz Gibbon Street
at the hour of ten past one
with the big hand at the ten
and the other on me gunon the bus we sang of Eireann
of freedom and liberty
we sang the soldier's song
and stop the bus we want a wee wee...
Chorus: Well a rat tat tat tat
a rat tat tat tat
the drummer he did roll
boom boom
the cannons they did roar
ha ha...
the rifles they did go
ah the crack we had the day we died for Ireland.
Well we lost Rafferty and Hafferty and
Clafferty and Pears
and Hanrahan and Brennan and the Rasher
Clancy's ears
we lost O'Connell and O'Donnell
O'Riordan and Oh dear
I lost my virginity to an English grenadier. Chorus
When the battle it was over
sure we all lay there in fright
there were arms and legs and bottoms
and a terrible smell o' shite
there was nowt to do but lie there
as me comrades corpses stank
so I raised the only limb I'd left
an' had myself a smoke. Chorus.
