1
Oh, me name is MacNamara, I'm the leader of the band
2
Although we're few in numbers, we're the finest in the land
3
We play at wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball
4
And when we play the funerals, we play the March from Saul
5
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
6
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play
7
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is somethin' grand
8
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
9
Right now we are rehearsin' for a very swell affair
10
The annual celebration, all the gentry will be there
11
When General Grant to Ireland came he took me by the hand
12
Says he, "I never saw the likes of MacNamara's Band"
13
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
14
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play
15
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is somethin' grand
16
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
17
Oh, my name is Uncle Julius and from Sweden I did come
18
To play with MacNamara's Band and beat the big bass drum
19
And when I march along the street the ladies think I'm grand
20
They shout, "There's Uncle Julius playin' with an Irish band!"
21
Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green
22
And I'm the funniest lookin' Swede that you have ever seen
23
There is O'Brians, O'Ryans, O'Sheehans and Meehans, they come from Ireland
24
But, by yimminy, I'm the only Swede in MacNamara's Band
25
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
26
McCarthy pumps the old bassoon while I the pipes do play
27
And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute and the music is somethin' grand
28
A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
29
That's MacNamara
