Up to mighty London came an Irish lad one day All the streets were paved with gold, so everyone was gay Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand, and Leicester Square Till Paddy got excited and he shouted to them there It's a long way to Tipperary It's a long way to go It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know Goodbye, Piccadilly Farewell, Leicester Square It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O' Saying, "Should you not receive it, write and let me know If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly, dear", said he "Remember it's the pen, that's bad, don't lay the blame on me" It's a long way to Tipperary It's a long way to go It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know Goodbye, Piccadilly Farewell, Leicester Square It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O' Saying, "Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you'll be to blame For love has fairly drove me silly, hoping you're the same" It's a long way to Tipperary It's a long way to go It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know Goodbye, Piccadilly Farewell, Leicester Square It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there It's a long, long way to Tipperary But my heart's right there YOU’VE CAPTURED HER!!
