McNamara's Band-Connie Francis

(Shamus O' Connor - J. J. Stamford - Dwight Latham) Oh, me name is Mac Namara, I'm the leader of the band Although we're few in numbers we're the finest in the land We played wakes and weddings and at every fancy ball And when we play to funerals we play the march from Saul. Oh, the drums go bang and the crystals clang And the horns they blaze away Mac Carthy pumps the old bassoon while the pipes do play And Hennessey Tennessee tootles the flute And the music is something grand A credit to old Ireland is Mac Namara's band. Oh, I wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green I'm the funniest looking Swede that you have ever seen There's O'Briens and Ryans and Meehans and Sheehans They come from Ireland Hey, by Yimminy I'm the only Swede in Mac Namara's band. Oh, the drums go bang and the crystals clang And the horns they blaze away Mac Carthy pumps the old bassoon while the pipes do play And Hennessey Tennessee tootles the flute And the music is something grand A credit to old Ireland is Mac Namara's band...
