Shane MacGowan & The Popes

We put the hood round his head

Then we shot the bastard dead

With a nick nack paddy whack

Give a dog a bone

Send the stupid bastards home



The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again



Tu ra lu ra laddy

Got pissed in Limavaddy

Got a kicking from the locals

There's a bunch of drunkin' paddys

With a nick nack paddy whack

Give a dog a bone

Send the stupid bastards home



The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again



I shot one, I shot two, I shot three

That's more than you

With a nick nack paddy whack

Give a dog a bone

Send the stupid bastards home



The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again

The nation's gonna rise again
