'Twas in the merry month of 
June from our home we started 
Left old Eireann's Isle, to Poland we departed 
Hope within our hearts
We can win a trophy 
We're a part of Trapattoni's army
Get behind the team, hear the Irish scream
C'mon you boys in green, Ireland's bouncing back again
We have got our Trap, the cat is in the sack
We'll not forget you Jack on the Rocky Road to Poland 
One, two, three, four, five 
Irish eyes are smiling 
Let your voices ring
Trapattoni's army
Everybody sing 
You'll never beat the Irish

Make your mother proud, inflate your plastic hammer
Bate your bodhrán loud and learn your Polish grammar 
Credit union loan, sold the Opel Corsa
Hired a camper van, picked it up in Warsaw,
Been so close before, hopes slammed in the door
Now we're back for more, we can win the battle
C'mon you boys in green, never have we seen
Such a fearless team on the Rocky Road to Poland
One, two, three, four, five 
Irish eyes are smiling 
Let your voices ring
Trapattoni's army
Everybody sing 

You'll never beat the Irish 
You'll never beat the Irish 
You'll never beat the Irish 
You'll never beat the Irish 
Ireland abú
We love
