It's a Long Way to Tipperary - Billy Murray

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

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

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

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!»

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

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
