The Irish Brigade - Hands Up! Trousers Down! lyrics
[The Irish Brigade - Hands Up! Trousers Down! lyrics]
Down in, down in the Free State down
They hang their heads in shame
For a fellow from Bellaghy
Is driving them insane
He strikes out without warning and they
Live their life in fright
For it′s cold in Tipperary in
Your underpants at night
"Hang on to your trousers!" you
Can hear the Garda say
"Put a padlock on your braces boys
McGlinchey's on his way!"
The scourge of all the Branchmen
From Cork to Galway Bay
Put on your thermal underwear and
You will be OK
They searched o′er hill and valley
And they searched both near and far
For the man they call McGlinchеy
Who drives a Garda car
He's written off to Dublin
Just to offеr them his thanks
Saying if they want their car back
He'll trade it for a tank
"Hang on to your trousers!" you
Can hear the Garda say
"Put a padlock on your braces boys
McGlinchey′s on his way!"
The scourge of all the Branchmen
From Cork to Galway Bay
Put on your thermal underwear and
You will be OK
Well sad news came from County
Clare upon St patrick′s Day
Surrounded ten to one there
They took our man away
They brought him to the border
They went there at a run
They'd one hand on their trousers and
The other on their guns
"Hang on to your trousers!" you
Can hear the Garda say
"Put a padlock on your braces boys
McGlinchey′s on his way!"
The scourge of all the Branchmen
From Cork to Galway Bay
Put on your thermal underwear and
You will be OK
But have you heard the latest news?
Their faces have turned red
For instead of keeping Dominic here
They've sent him back instead
Now Garret I must say this
I just can′t let it pass
You don't have to drop your trousers
To show the world an ass
"Hang on to your trousers!" you
Can hear the Garda say
"Put a padlock on your braces boys
McGlinchey′s on his way!"
The scourge of all the Branchmen
From Cork to Galway Bay
Put on your thermal underwear and
You will be OK
Now my friends down in Bellaghy
And up in Toomebridge too
Keep smiling through your troubles
There still is much to do
To all you young musicians
If you want to start a band
If your looking for cheap uniforms
Dominic is your man
"Hang on to your trousers!" you
Can hear the Garda say
"Put a padlock on your braces boys
McGlinchey's on his way!"
The scourge of all the Branchmen
From Cork to Galway Bay
Put on your thermal underwear and
You will be OK
Put on your thermal underwear and
You will be OK
Hands up! Trousers down!
They hang their heads in shame
For a fellow from Bellaghy
Is driving them insane
He strikes out without warning and they
Live their life in fright
For it′s cold in Tipperary in
Your underpants at night
"Hang on to your trousers!" you
Can hear the Garda say
"Put a padlock on your braces boys
McGlinchey's on his way!"
