1
O a comical genius was thinking one day
2
How he'd jack up his job and receive handy pay
3
He did not like begging and work was too hard
4
So he got a bright notion to join up the guard
5
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
6
Well he went up to Dublin, to the depot went in
7
Got a new suit of blue as bright as new pins
8
They drilt him, they drilt him, they drilt him so hard
9
The old sergeant proclaimed him a full fledged guard
10
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
11
He was stationed somewhere near the town of Athy
12
On the roads of the district he kept a close eye
13
The girls they admired him as all brassers do
14
Fell in love with the guard and his new suit of blue
15
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
16
Well the girls they would wink and they'd nod as he passed
17
O but this itchy guard had his eye on one lass
18
And this little colleen, she being a die-hard
19
She made it quite clear that she wanted no guard
20
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
21
Well one time while on duty on a cold winter's night
22
Sure he caught her out cycling without any light
23
Where's your light, miss? says he; for an answer says she
24
It's next to me liver, where you'll never be
25
Diddly-i-dum diidly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
