It's a Long Way to Tipperary

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

Up to mighty London, came an Irishman one day

As the streets were paved with gold, so 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

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

Goodbye, Piccadilly

Farewell, Leicester Square

It's a long, long way to Tipperary

But my heart's right there

Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O'

Saying, "Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so

Leave the Strand and Piccadilly or you'll be to blame

For love has fairly drove me silly, hoping you're the same"

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

Goodbye, Piccadilly

Farewell, Leicester Square

It's a long, long way to Tipperary

But my heart's right there

It's a long, long way to Tipperary

But my heart's right there
