Oh me name is MacNamara
I'm the leader of the band
Although we're few in numbers
We're the finest in the land
We play at wakes and weddin's
And at every fancy ball
And when we play the funerals
We play the March from Saul
Oh the drums go bang
And the cymbals clang
And the horns they blaze away
McCarthy pumps
the old bassoon
While I the pipes do play
And Henessee
Tennessee tootles the flute
And the music
is somethin' grand
A credit to old lreland
is MacNamara's band
Oh my name is Uncle Julius
And from Sweden I did come
To play with
MacNamara's band
And beat the big bass drum
And when I march
along the street
The ladies think I'm grand
They shout there's
uncle Julius playin'
with an lrish band
The drums go bang
And the cymbals clang
And the horns they blaze away
McCarthy pumps
the old bassoon
While I the pipes do play
And Henessee
Tennessee tootles the flute
And the music
is somethin' grand
A credit to old lreland
is MacNamara's band
