Yankee Doodle Dandy Hiby John McMenamin The nation is in mourning
The flags are at half mast
'Cause Michael with his merry laugh
Is leaving auld Belfast He brightened up our mornings
As we sat at our tay
But the man who drove the wee white van
Is going far away. He's going to America
To live amoung the Yanks
But Michael, now before you go
We'd just like to say thanks. Thanks for all the stories
Thanks for all the fun
Thanks for all the laughter
Good luck to you auld son. If you find yourself in New York
There's a district there called Queens
You might meet the Village People
And have fun on trampolines. I can see you in a diner
Ah, it nearly makes me cry
As you call out to the waitress
"Hi, can I have an ulster fry. Gerry and Sean are oh so sad
Now, Michael it's no lie
Gerrycried more tears than Sean
Who only has one eye. And if you get a driving job
And I just think you might
Remember now you're not at home
You must drive on the right. But Michael, now the cops are tough
And might give you a whack
If they should hear you calling out
"Hi, this is wild good crack." Michael don't get hooked on drugs
Don't touch the auld cocaine
Or you'll end up in Sing-Sing-Hi
And won't see home again. And Michael, if you do get mugged
Please don't get in a panic
Just say, "Hi, I come from Belfast
My Daddy built the auld Titantic. Now, Michael watch the auld drag queens
With busts just like Monroe
But Michael, they're just like me and you
You know - ah - down below. But Michael dear, be of good cheer
And don't be feeling low
Remember all the friends you made
On the Gerry Anderson show. And now it's time to say goodbye
I feel I'm going to cry
So, Michael, for the last time
I'd just like to say - Hi! <...back |
