Up to mighty London came An Irishman one day. As the streets were paved with gold, Sure ev'ryone was gay; Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand, and Leicester Square, Till Paddy got excited, then He shouted to them there:
Припев:
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.
(Припев ещё раз) 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».
(Припев)
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!»
