Brian Faulkner said one day, "Internment suit us they",
And with a stroke of his orange pen, to the Maidstone sent our men,
Did you ever see, did you ever see,
Did you ever see such a stupid thing before?

But old Brian, he did not know our boys didn't want to go,
And one upon a whim said, "I think we'll take a swim",
Did you ever see, did you ever see,
Did you ever see such a funny thing before?

In the side they cut a hole and went sliding a pole,
Saying, "Boys there's seven of us, so I think we'll take the bus",
Did you ever see, did you ever see,
Did you ever see such a funny thing before?

To the Markets, they did drive and were helped when they arrived,
By our gallant Derry's folk, who laughed at this great joke,
Did you ever see, did you ever see,
Did you ever see such a noble thing before?

Now Brian F when will you learn, that our boys you can't intern,
As a tyrant you lack spire, we'll have more come over the wire,
Did you ever see, did you ever see,
Did you ever see such a funny thing before?

Now the Irish are unbeatable and that you will agree,
Behind the wire or from the road or locked up out at sea
Will you ever learn, will you ever learn,
Will you ever learn that our boys will soon be free?

Will you ever learn, will you ever learn,
Will you ever learn that our boys will soon be free?.
