It’s A Long Way To Tipperary
G Up to mighty London
Came an C Irishman one Am day.
D As the D7 streets are G paved with D gold
G Sure, everyone was D gay,
G Singing songs of Em Piccadilly,
C Strand and Leicester Am Square,
Till D Paddy got ex- D7 cited,
Then he G shouted C to them G there.
It’s a G long way to Tipperary,
It’s a C long way to G go.
It’s a G long way to Tippe- Em rary
To the A sweetest A7 girl I D – D7 know!
G Goodbye, Piccadilly,
C Farewell, Leicester B* Square!
It’s a G long long way to Tippe- C rar- G y,
But my A7 heart’s D7 right G there.
1. Up to mighty London
Came an Irishman one day.
As the streets are paved with gold
Sure, everyone was gay,
Singing songs of Piccadilly,
Strand and Leicester Square,
Till Paddy got excited,
Then 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
