Verse 1:
It was Christmas in Kirkubbin
1981
The boys were mashin whisky
And the girls were drinkin rum
And though the holly green was hangin
And the mistletoe was hung
I couldn’t sleep that Christmas til the deed was done
Chorus:
I said li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin’ Englishman
And throw him in the sea
Verse 2:
So I stepped out from the party
Found a soldier by the dam
I took out both me knuckles
And I said “fight me like a man”
And he tried to calm me senses
But I was fuckin gone
So I took out a fuckin hatchet
And I cut off both his arms
Chorus:
I said li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin’ Englishman
And throw him in the sea
Now before this next part, just remember
I’m a really good guy in my personal life
Verse 3:
So I ripped out all his organs
As I cursed the Queen and King
Me eyes rolled back into me head
And I couldn’t feel a thing
And I bet they could hear me screamin’
Down in county cork
I said
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Li-deedle-lee-da-lie-dum
Chorus:
And we said li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin’ Englishman
And throw him in the sea
Verse 4:
So I came back to the party
Soldiers head in hand
The boys they stopped a dancin’
And they quited the band
And I said this is for the Republic
But my work here isn’t done
And I gave that English soldier’s head to Colin
My only son
Chorus:
And we said li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin’ Englishman
And throw him in the sea
Everybody
li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin’ Englishman
And throw him in the sea
li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin’ Englishman
And throw him in the sea
