1. I'll sing you a song of peace and love Whack fol the diddle all the di do day To the land that reigns all lands above Whack fol the diddle all the di do day May peace and plenty be her share Who kept our homes from want and care God bless England is our prayer Whack fol the diddle all the di do day Refrain: 2. When we were savage, fierce and wild Whack fol the diddle all the di do day England came as mother to child Whack fol the diddle all the di do day She gently raised us from the slime Stopped our drinking and our crime And sent us to Heaven in her own good time Whack fol the diddle all the di do day Refrain:

3. Now our fathers oft were naughty boys Whack fol the diddle all the di do day For guns and pikes are dangerous toys Whack fol the diddle all the di do day From Bearna Baol to Bunker Hill They made poor England cry her fill But ould Brittania loves us still! Whack fol the diddle all the di do day Refrain: 4. Now Irishmen, forget the past! Whack fol the diddle all the di do day And think of the time that's coming fast Whack fol the diddle all the di do day When we shall all be civilized Neat and clean and well-advised Won't Mother England be surprised? Whack fol the diddle all the di do day Refrain:

Refrain: Whack fol the diddle all the di do day So we say, Hip Hooray! Come and listen while we pray Whack fol the diddle all the di do day
