It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary lyrics

Up to mighty London

Came an Irishman one day

As the streets are paved with gold

Sure, 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

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

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
