MacNamara's Band - Dennis Day

Oh me name is macnamara

I'm the leader of the band

Although we're few in numbers

We're the finest in the land

We play at wakes and weddings

And at every fancy ball

And when we play the funerals

We play the march from saul

Oh the drums go bang and the cymbals

Clang and the horns they blaze away

Mccarthy pumps the old bassoon

While I the pipes do play

And henessee tennessee tootles the flute

And the music is something grand

A credit to old ireland is macnamara's band

Right now we are rehearsing for a very swell affair

The annual celebration all the gentry will be there

When general grant to ireland

Came he took me by the hand

Says he

I never saw the likes of macnamara's band

Oh the drums go bang and the cymbals

Clang and the horns they blaze away

Mccarthy pumps the old bassoon

While I the pipes do play

And henessee tennessee tootles the

Flute and the music is something grand

A credit to old ireland is macnamara's band

Oh my name is uncle julius

And from sweden I had come

To play with macnamara's band

And beat the big bass drum

And when I march along the street

The ladies think I'm grand

They shout there's uncle julius

Playing with an irish band

Oh the drums go bang and the cymbals

Clang and the horns they blaze away

Mccarthy pumps the old bassoon

While I the pipes do play

And henessee tennessee tootles the flute

And the music is something grand

A credit to old ireland is macnamara's band
