[Verse]
We are McCarthy's army, sure we are the boys in green,
Remember that the Irish are the greatest football team,
We travelled all around the world from Iran to Kingdom Come,
We beat the best and know no rest, we'll put em on the run.
[Hook]
Cheering, chanting, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way,
Scoring, roaring, diddly-idel-day,
Ducking, diving, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way,
Diddly-aidel-doh, diddly-aidel-day.
[Verse]
We played our way to Stuttgart in the year of '88,
We remember well Ray Houghton's goal that sealed old England's fate,
Then Italia 1990, well our hearts were in our mouths,
When Packie saved those penalties, but Schillaci knocked us out.
[Chorus]
And you'll never beat the Irish, no matter what you'll do,
Oh, you could put us down and keep us out, but we'll come back again,
You'll know we are the fighting Irish and we fight until the end,
You'll know, you should have known, you'll never beat the Irish.
[Verse]
We took revenge on Italy in US '94,
And when we scored that mighty goal, I still can hear the roar,
Now off to the finals once again in Korea and Japan,
We'll be dancing with the Japanese, so join us if you can.
[Hook]
Cheering, chanting, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way,
Scoring, roaring, diddly-idel-day,
Ducking, diving, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way,
Diddly-aidel-doh, diddly-aidel-day.
[Verse]
We are McCarthy's army, sure we are the boys in green,
Remember that the Irish are the greatest football team,
We'll travel all around the world from Iran to Kingdom Come,
We know the best and beat the rest, and send them all back home.
[Chorus]
And you'll never beat the Irish, no matter what you'll do,
Oh, you could put us down and keep us out but we'll come back again,
You'll know we are the fighting Irish and we'll fight until the end,
You'll know, you should have known, you'll never beat the Irish.
[Hook]
Cheering, chanting, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way,
Scoring, roaring, diddly-idel-day,
Ducking, diving, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way,
Diddly-aidel-doh, diddly-aidel-day.
[Hook]
Cheering, chanting, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way,
Scoring, roaring, diddly-idel-day,
Ducking, diving, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way,
Diddly-aidel-doh, diddly-aidel-day.
