[00:00.00]Macnamara's Band - The Hit Co.
[00:12.38]Oh, me name is MacNamara,
[00:14.24]I'm the leader of the band
[00:16.25]Although we're few in numbers,
[00:17.79]We're the finest in the land
[00:20.01]We play at wakes and weddings
[00:21.66]And at every fancy ball
[00:23.49]And when we play the funerals,
[00:25.33]We play the March from Saul
[00:27.16]Oh, the drums go bang
[00:28.12]And the cymbals clang
[00:28.94]And the horns they blaze away
[00:30.73]McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
[00:32.56]While I the pipes do play
[00:34.35]And Henessee Tennessee tootles the flute
[00:36.29]And the music is something grand
[00:38.02]A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
[00:41.38]
[00:56.37]Right now we are rehearsing
[00:58.07]For a very swell affair
[00:59.70]
[01:00.20]The annual celebration,
[01:01.98]All the gentry will be there
[01:03.95]When General Grant
[01:04.77]To Ireland came he took me by the hand
[01:07.47]Says he,
[01:08.02]I never saw the likes of MacNamara's Band
[01:11.12]Oh, the drums go bang
[01:12.20]And the cymbals clang
[01:13.00]And the horns they blaze away
[01:14.77]McCarthy pumps the old bassoon
[01:16.62]While I the pipes do play
[01:18.37]And Henessee Tennessee tootles
[01:19.82]The flute and the music is something grand
[01:22.18]A credit to old Ireland is MacNamara's band
