Karaoké Long Way to Tipperary / Pack Up Your Troubles / If You're Irish / Westmeath Bachelor Gary Gamble

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 lays there so

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile now, that's the style

What's the use of worryin'

It's never worth your while so

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile

If you're Irish come into the parlor

There's a welcome there for you

And if your name is

Timothy or Pat as long as you come from Ireland there's a welcome on the mat

If you come from the Mounts of Mourne or Killarney's lakes so blue

We'll sing you a song

We'll make a fuss

Whoever you are you're one of us

If you're Irish this is the place for you

Alright

I am a Westmeath bachelor

My age is sixty-three

I don't intend to marry or to raise a family

I'm happy and contented just to live a single life and that's the reason why

I don't intend to take a wife

With the red stuff on her fingernails and varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old fizz and the whitewash on her nose

She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and her head

Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed

Last Thursday at the market in the town of Mullingar a friend he introduced me to a famous movie star

She was married several times before to men of every creed

She thought she had a sucker in the bachelor from Westmeath

Oh with the red stuff on her fingernails and her varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old fizz and the whitewash on her nose

She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and her head

Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed

I am the Westmeath bachelor and I don't intend to wed

Wee ooh
