"Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said
"Would you like to make a soldier
Out of your son, Ted?
With a scarlet coat and a big white hat
Mrs. McGrath, wouldn't you like that?"

With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

Now Mrs. McGrath lived by the seashore
For a space of seven long years or more
Till she saw a ship sailing in the bay
"Here's my son Ted, would you clear the way"

With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

Well up comes Ted without any legs
And in their place were two wooden pegs
Well she kissed him a dozen times or two
Sayin, "Glory be to God, sure it couldn't be you!"

With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

"Well, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
When I left my two fine legs behind
But a cannonball on the fifth of May
Tore me two fine legs from the knees away"

With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

"Oh, Teddy me boy," the old widow cried
"Your two fine legs were your mammy's pride
Them stumps of a tree wouldn't do at all
Why didn't you run from the cannonball?"

Aaa aaa, aaa aaa aaa
Aaa aaa, aaa aaa aaa

"Well, all foreign wars, I do proclaim
Between Don Juan and the king of Spain
By herrons I'll make them rue the time
They swept the legs from a child of mine!"

With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa

With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
With a too-ri-aa, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri-oo-ri-oo-ri-aa
