Rubberbandits - Up the Ra lyrics

Monty? Yeah? It's like this now I want you to go up the North next Saturday night And I want you to take to of your best mates with you Car and all now is on the dock waiting for you There's three guns in the boot of the car And I want no messing And I want you to blow away two Paratroopers Yeah, we're gonna give you a lesson now in Irish history For over three hundred years The British Army have oppressed the Irish people It all started with the Great Potato Famine of 1916 When the British took all of our food And when we were took weak and too starving to fight They stole the seven counties in Ulster So Éamon de Valera rode to London on the back of a horse To punch the Queen into the jaw As a symbol She locked him in jail for a hundred years And he smeared his own sh** on the wall and starved to d**h Ooh, aah! Up the Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Paul McGrath, take off your bra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Cantona, you're a spa! Fast forward to 1974, when Sean South From Garryowen starved a dog out his back garden for seventeen years Him and that dog sailed over to England on a ship made out of coffins He trained the dog to make sh** of the Queen And to punch her into the jaw As a symbol But he was caught in the car park of Buckingham Palace And jailed for a hundred years But he smeared his own sh** on the wall, and he starved to d**h Like so many before him Ooh, aah! Up the Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Paul McGrath, take off your bra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Cantona, you're a spa! And so Paddy Irishman went over to London to box the Queen into the mouth He had a load of condoms filled with petrol And a sword made out of hash That he sellotaped to the steering wheel of his mother's face He met the Queen in the car park of Buckingham Palace And he cleverly locked her into the boot of an Opel Corsa In that boot She smeared the walls with sh** And the Queen starved to d**h And that's how the Irish Republic was wan! (break it down) Ooh, aah! Up the Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Paul McGrath, take off your bra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Cantona, you're a spa! Be proud to be Irish Don't ever let no-one tell not to be proud to be Irish The British Mon-arky insists… wants to keep us not knowing about our f**ing heritage. But it's all over the place They celebrate f**ing St. Patrick's Day in Maaalta, like, you know what I mean? If the Queen ever came to this country I'd chase her around a field with dog sh** on the end of a golf club I swear to God And to all the patriots who have died before in the Irish wars? I know you're up in heaven smoking a joint with 2Pac and Bob Marley Chalk it down! Yah! Ooh, aah! Up the Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Ooh, aah! Up The Ra! Paul McGrath, take off your bra! Ooh, aah!
