used to take it to bed with him,
And nibble a bit, we'd laugh at it,
though Dad would have a fit
Sure, with the same old shillelagh
me father could lick a dozen men
As fast as they got up he got it,
he'd knock them down again
for to make me understand
It's the same old shillelagh
me father brought from Ireland
I'm going on the police force,
it's the only thing to do
Instead of having one night's tick,
If there's a fight, I'll do all right,
I'll have the old shillelagh
Sure it's the same old shillelagh
my father brought from Ireland
And Bibble the man was proud of the meals
he bought with it in his hand
He used to take her to bed with him,
though Jack would have a fit
Sure, with the same old shillelagh,
me father could lick a dozen men
As fast as they could duck,
he'd knock them down again
And many's the time he'd use it on me
for to make me understand
It's the same old shillelagh
me father brought from Ireland
Dinny Duggan gave a party,
Poor Callaghan was in a chair
when they threw it through the wall
Muldoon cried out, it's very plain,
that peace will have to be
Or else I'll use the stick,
me dear old father used to be
Sure it's the same old shillelagh
me father brought from Ireland
And Dibble the man was proud of the meals
he walked with it in his hand
He used to take her to bed with him,
And nibble a bit, we'd laugh at it,
Sure, with the same old shillelagh,
me father could lick a dozen men
As fast as they could up the gutter,
he'd knock them down again
for to make me understand
It's the same old shillelagh,
