lyrics
With me right-full-toora-laddie-toora-lee
There's no one who can tell a lie like me
You can search until you tire, you won't find a bigger liar
I've been lying since the dawn of history
I was born ten thousand years ago
In Belmullet in the County of Mayo
It was me who chased the vermin while St. Patrick preached a sermon
And I'll whoop the man who says it isn't so
I saw Eve go pickin' apples off a tree
She came over and she offered one to me
I said, "No thank you, madam, but you can try your luck with Adam
I'm going home for fish and chips and tea"
I saw Delilah cutting Sampson's hair
She snipped away until his head was bare
And when he couldn't run away she married him next day
And they opened up a barbershop in Clare
With King Billy at the Boyne I heard him call
On his followers to follow til they fall
And he said, "We'll win quite easily, and they'll canonize young Paisely"
And they up and sang a verse of Derry's Wall
It was during World War II I saw them all
There was Roosevelt and Churchill and De Gaulle
And one day I nearly fainted, I was having my house painted
There was Hitler hanging paper in the hall
