歌词

[00:07.86] Oh, me name is MacNamara,
[00:10.00] I'm the leader of the band
[00:12.12] Although we're few in numbers,
[00:13.69] we're the finest in the land
[00:15.75] We play at wakes and weddings
[00:17.06] and at every fancy ball
[00:19.12] And when we play the funerals,
[00:20.81] we play the March from Saul
[00:23.09] Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang
[00:25.04] and the horns they blaze away
[00:26.47] McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
[00:28.72] while I the pipes do play
[00:30.47] And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute
[00:32.17] and the music is something grand
[00:34.11] A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
[00:37.76]
[00:52.53] Right now we are rehearsing
[00:54.28] for a very swell affair
[00:56.41] The annual celebration,
[00:57.54] all the gentry will be there
[00:59.79] When General Grant
[01:00.85] to Ireland came he took me by the hand
[01:03.61] Says he,
[01:04.39] I never saw the likes of MacNamara's Band
[01:07.14] Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang
[01:09.39] and the horns they blaze away
[01:11.24] McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
[01:13.05] while I the pipes do play
[01:14.92] And Henessee Tennessee tootles
[01:16.18] the flute and the music is something grand
[01:18.62] A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
[01:22.24]
[01:36.86] Oh, my name is Uncle Julius
[01:38.62] and from Sweden I did come
[01:40.93] To play with MacNamara's Band
[01:42.62] and beat the big bass drum
[01:44.65] And when I march along the street
[01:46.53] the ladies think I'm grand
[01:48.28] They shout,
[01:48.53] There's Uncle Julius playing with an Irish band!
[01:51.72] Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks
[01:53.54] and a uniform of green
[01:55.54] And I'm the funniest lookin' Swede
[01:57.41] that you have ever seen
[01:59.03] There is O'Brians, O'Ryans, O'Sheehans and Meehans,
[02:01.29] they come from Ireland
[02:02.98] But, by yimminy,
[02:03.91] the I'm only Swede in MacNamara's Band
[02:06.44] Oh, the drums go bang and
[02:08.07] the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
[02:10.76] McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
[02:12.20] while I the pipes do play
[02:14.26] And Henessee Tennessee tootles
[02:15.70] the flute and the music is something grand
[02:18.07] A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
[02:21.83]
[02:35.30] That's MacNamara
