The Dublin Fusiliers

Well you've heard about the Indians with their tommy hawks and spears

And of the U N Warriors the heroes of recent years

Also I might mention the British Grenadiers

Well none of them were in it but the Dublin Fusiliers

You've heard about the Light Brigade and of the deeds they've done

And of the other regiments that many victories won

But the pride of all the armies dragoons and Carabiniers

Was that noble band of warriors the Dublin Fusiliers

(Incomprehensible) face this is the way we go

Charging with fixed bayonets the terror of every foe

A glory to old Ireland as proud as Buccaneers

And a terror to creation are the Dublin Fusiliers

The Dublin Fusiliers - The Dubliners

Well you've heard about the wars between the Russians and the Brits

The Tsar one day was reading an old copy of ""Tidbits""

And when the General came to him and threw himself down in tears

""We'd better run back like blazes here's the Dublin Fusiliers""

The Tsar commenced to tremble and he bit his under lip

""Begorra boys"" says he ""I think we'd better take the tip""

The devils come from Dublin and to judge from what I hears

They're demons of militia men the Dublin Fusiliers

(Incomprehensible) face this is the way we go

Charging with fixed bayonets the terror of every foe

A glory to old Ireland as proud as Buccaneers

And a terror to creation are the Dublin Fusiliers

Well the sergeant cried ""Get ready lads lay down each sword and gun

Take off your shoes and stockings boys and when I tell yous run""

They didn't stop but started and amidst three ringing cheers

Came a shower of bricks and bullets from the Dublin Fusiliers

The time that Julius Caesar tried to land down at Ringsend

The coastguards couldn't stop them so for the Dublin's they did send

And just as they were landing lads we heard three ringing cheers

""Get back to Rome like blazes here's the Dublin Fusiliers""

(Incomprehensible) face this is the way we go

Charging with fixed bayonets the terror of every foe

A glory to old Ireland as proud as Buccaneers

And a terror to creation are the Dublin Fusiliers
