| MacNAMARA'S BAND 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 at funerals we play the March From Saul Chorus: 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 Hennessey Tennessee tootles the flute And the music is something grand A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band Right now we are rehearsin' 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! My name is Uncle Yulius and from Sweden I have 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 Yulius playing with an Irish band" Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green And I am the funniest lookin' Swede that you have ever seen There's O'Briens and Ryans and Sheehans and Meehans they come from Ireland, But by yimminy I'm the only Swede in MacNamara's band |
