I was (D)born about ten thousand years a(A)go
In Bellmullet in the County of Ma(D)yo
It was (G)me that chased the vermin, while St. (D)Patrick preached the (Bm)sermon
And I'll (A)whoop the man that says it isn't (D)so
Chorus
Singing (D)rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra-(A)lee
There is no one who can tell a lie like (D)me
You can (G)search until you tire, you won't (D)find a bigger (Bm)liar
I've been (A)lying since the dawn of histo(D)ry
I saw (D)Eve go pickin' apples off a (A)tree
She came over and she offered one to (D)me
I (G)turned and said, "Dear madam, go (D)try your luck with (Bm)Adam
I'm going (A)home to have some fish and chips and (D)tea."
Chorus
I saw (D)Delilah cuttin' Samson's (A)hair
She snipped away until his head was (D)bare
When he (G)couldn't run away, well she (D)married him next (Bm)day
And they (A)opened a barber shop in (D)Clare
Chorus
With King (D)Billy at the Boyne I heard them (A)call
On his followers to follow till they (D)fall
Then he (G)said, "We'll win quite easy, and we'll (D)canonize, young (Bm)Paisley."
Then he (A)up and sang a verse of Derry's (D)Walls
Chorus

In was (D)back in sixty-two in Dono(A)ghue's
I was singing there with Luke and Ronnie (D)Drew
Luke sez, (G)'Nick your singing's grand, so let's(D)form a ballad (Bm)band
And a (A)great big hairy beard I went and (D)grew
Oh I'd like ride your sister's motor bike I'd like ride your sister's motor bike
I'd like ride your sister, I'd like ride your sister I'd like ride your sister's motor bike
Would you (D)like to ride on Johnson's Motor (A)Car

Would you (A)like to ride on Johnson's Motor (D)Car

It was (D)during World War II I met them (A)all
There was Roosevelt and Churchill and De (D)Gaulle
Then one (G)day I nearly fainted, I was (D)having my house (Bm)painted
There was (A)Hitler hanging paper in the (D)hall
Chorus twice
