[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a Provo, with a beret and a gun,
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run,
He looks so really trendy, with his shades and DM boots,
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits.

[Verse]
The Brits and police harass me, each time that I go out,
They ask me if I've seen my da and if he's been about,
I say, "Mind your own business, just leave me alone,
You shower are only jealous you've no fathers of your own!"

[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a Provo, with a beret and a gun,
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run,
He looks so really trendy, with his shades and DM boots,
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits.

[Verse]
On our TV the other night, a cop came on to say,
"Please give us information about the IRA",
He showed a Provo unit on security TV,
I know one was me daddy, cause he stopped and waved at me!

[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a Provo, with a beret and a gun,
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run,
He looks so really trendy, with his shades and DM boots,
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits.

[Verse]
My da has got me worried, I think he's going soft,
There's half a ton of fertiliser, stowed up in our loft,
"Are you gonna be a farmer, dad?" I asked him just for fun,
He said, "Don't be an eejit, pass the coffee grinder son!"

[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a Provo, with a beret and a gun,
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run,
He looks so really trendy, with his shades and DM boots,
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits.

[Verse]
At Christmas time it's lonely, when daddy's not at home,
The police are watching everywhere, they've even tapped the phone,
Last Christmas Eve they staked out, all our windows and our doors,
Then climbing down the chimney, came a Provo Santa Claus!

[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a Provo, with a beret and a gun,
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run,
He looks so really trendy, with his shades and DM boots,
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits.

[Verse]
My da he's in Long Kesh, to me it's just not right,
I say a special prayer to him, when I go to bed tonight,
Today it was his birthday, I sent him in a cake,
With semtex in the candles, he'll be out before I wake!

[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a Provo, with a beret and a gun,
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run,
He looks so really trendy, with his shades and DM boots,
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits.

[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a Provo, with a beret and a gun,
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run,
He looks so really trendy, with his shades and DM boots,
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits.
