[Verse]
Well, eighteen Brits on the Warrenpoint road, ah weila weila waila,
Well, eighteen Brits on the Warrenpoint road, down by the Narrow Water,
For on that road there was a bomb, ah weila weila waila,
Eighteen Brits didn't last that long, down by the Narrow Water.

[Chorus]
There were nine mortars, came in the canteen,
There were nine policemen, nowhere to be seen,
And the sergeant said "Fuck it", then he kicked the bucket,
The day the mortars came in the canteen.

[Verse]
Well, Lord Mountbatten he had a boat, ah weila weila waila,
Well, Lord Mountbatten he had a boat, down by the Sligo waters,
And on that boat there was a bomb, ah weila weila waila,
Lord Mountbatten didn't last that long, down by the Sligo waters.

[Chorus]
There were nine mortars, came in the canteen,
There were nine policemen, nowhere to be seen,
And the sergeant said "Fuck it", then he kicked the bucket,
The day the mortars came in the canteen.

[Verse]
Well, Judge Gibson he had a car, ah weila weila waila,
Well, Judge Gibson he had a car, down by the Dublin Road,
Beside that car there was a bomb, ah weila weila waila,
Judge Gibson didn't last that long, down by the Dublin Road.

[Chorus]
There were nine mortars, came in the canteen,
There were nine policemen, nowhere to be seen,
And the sergeant said "Fuck it", then he kicked the bucket,
The day the mortars came in the canteen.

[Verse]
Well, eighteen Brits were blewn to bits, ah weila weila waila,
Well, eighteen Brits were blewn to bits, down by the Narrow Water,
And on that road there was a bomb, ah weila weila waila,
Eighteen Brits didn't last that long, down by the Narrow Water.

[Chorus]
There were nine mortars, came in the canteen,
There were nine policemen, nowhere to be seen,
And the sergeant said "Fuck it", then he kicked the bucket,
The day the mortars came in the canteen.
The day the mortars came in the canteen.
