Up to mighty London
came an Irish lad
one day
All the streets were
paved with gold,
so everyone was gay
Singing songs of
Piccadilly, Strand,
and Leicester Square
Till Paddy got excited
and 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
