Verse 1:

It was Christmas in Kirkubbin 1981 The boys were mashin whisky And the girls were drinkin rum

And though the holly green was hangin And the mistletoe was hung I couldn’t sleep that Christmas til the deed was done

Chorus:

I said li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum Li-dee-die-dee-dee Kill a fuckin’ Englishman And throw him in the sea

Verse 2:

So I stepped out from the party Found a soldier by the dam I took out both me knuckles And I said “fight me like a man”

And he tried to calm me senses But I was fuckin gone So I took out a fuckin hatchet And I cut off both his arms

Chorus:

I said li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum Li-dee-die-dee-dee Kill a fuckin’ Englishman And throw him in the sea

Now before this next part, just remember I’m a really good guy in my personal life

Verse 3:

So I ripped out all his organs As I cursed the Queen and King Me eyes rolled back into me head And I couldn’t feel a thing

And I bet they could hear me screamin’ Down in county cork I said AHAHAHAHAHAHA Li-deedle-lee-da-lie-dum

Chorus:

And we said li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum Li-dee-die-dee-dee Kill a fuckin’ Englishman And throw him in the sea

Verse 4:

So I came back to the party Soldiers head in hand The boys they stopped a dancin’ And they quited the band

And I said this is for the Republic But my work here isn’t done And I gave that English soldier’s head to Colin My only son

Chorus:

And we said li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum Li-dee-die-dee-dee Kill a fuckin’ Englishman And throw him in the sea
