Karaoké It's the Same Old Shillelagh Irish Band

Oh fifty years ago me father left old Erin's shore

He landed here his Shillelagh in hand and a divil a penny more

He got a job then got a wife and then a family

And when he died and left his old Shillelagh stick with me

Sure it's the same old Shillelagh me father brought from Ireland

And a divil a man was prouder than he

When he walked with it in his hand

He lead the band on Paddy's day and twirl it round his mitt

And divil if, if we'd laugh at it poor dad would have a fit

Sure with the same old Shillelagh e father could lick a dozen men

As fast as they'd get up

Begorrah he'd knock 'em down again

And many's the time he used it on me to make me understand

The same old Shillelagh me father brought from Ireland

Oh I'm goin' on the police force it's the only thing to do

Instead of having one night stick

Begorrah I'll have two

If there's a fight I'll be all right there's no one bothers me

Because I have the old

Shillelagh me father gave to me

Sure it's the same old

Shillelagh me father brought from Ireland

And a divil a man was prouder than he when he walked with it in his hand

He led the band on Paddy's day and twirl it round his mitt

And divil if if we'd laugh at it poor dad would have a fit

Sure with the same old

Shillelagh me father could lick a dozen men

As fast as they'd get up

Begorrah he'd knock 'em down again

And many's the time he used it on me to make me understand

The same old Shillelagh me father brought from Ireland
