The pride of the Irish navy
When the Captain he blows on his whistle
All the sailors go home for their tea
While the army is off in the Kongo
In Cyprus or some foreign parts
Our navy is strained to the limits
Deploying it's nautical acts
One day from the Russian invader
Defending our very odd fish
We found it was just the red herring
From the signals we got from the cis'
The Clнona, the Meabh and the Mucha
The pride of the Irish navy
When the Captain he blows on his whistle
All the sailors go home for their tea
Each year they go on manoeuvres
To prepare for defence they are keen
Sometimes it's the Lakes of Killarney
More often the pond in the Green
The canal it could be of assistance
In defending our own holy ground
But due to proposed legislation
We'll have to sail all the way round
The Clнona, the Meabh and the Mucha
The pride of the Irish navy
When the Captain he blows on his whistle
All the sailors go home for their tea
We are a seafaring nation
Defence of our land is a right
We'd fight like the devil all morning
Provided we're home by the night
The Clнona, the Meabh and the Mucha
The pride of the Irish navy
When the Captain he blows on his whistle
All the sailors go home for their tea
The Clнona, the Meabh and the Mucha The pride of the Irish navy When the Captain he blows on his whistle All the sailors go home for their tea While the army is off in the Kongo In Cyprus or some foreign parts Our navy is strained to the limits Deploying it's nautical acts One day from the Russian invader Defending our very odd fish We found it was just the red herring From the signals we got from the cis' The Clнona, the Meabh and the Mucha The pride of the Irish navy When the Captain he blows on his whistle All the sailors go home for their tea Each year they go on manoeuvres To prepare for defence they are keen Sometimes it's the Lakes of Killarney More often the pond in the Green The canal it could be of assistance In defending our own holy ground But due to proposed legislation We'll have to sail all the way round The Clнona, the Meabh and the Mucha The pride of the Irish navy When the Captain he blows on his whistle All the sailors go home for their tea We are a seafaring nation Defence of our land is a right We'd fight like the devil all morning Provided we're home by the night The Clнona, the Meabh and the Mucha The pride of the Irish navy When the Captain he blows on his whistle All the sailors go home for their tea Explain Request ×
