<< Back to Billy Murray Song List

Version 1

            [Verse]
F                      Dm        G7
It must have been the Irish who built the pyramids
                                   F
For no one else could carry up the bricks
C                              F            Dm
It must have been a Doyle who dug the river Nile,
G7                                C
For no one but an Irishman would fight a crocodile
             D
I think the Micks were Turks, Mohammedans and Ghurks
                                       A7
They speek of "Irish Turkey" till this day
D7
Cleopatra was a Coline
Came from Connemara
     G7
She lost her nationality while roaming in Sahara
    C7                    C
So all the Hooligans and all the Dooligans
Gm                        C   F
Must have been Egyptians long ago.
C     F         D                   G7
Oh It must have been the Irish who built the pyramids
    G                       C      F
For no one else could carry up the bricks
    C                          F             Dm
It must have been a Doyle who dug the river Nile,
        G7                        C7
For no one but an Irishman would fight a crocodile
           D7                       D
Now ev'ry Houlihan once drove a caravan
                                    A7
They say the same for ev'ry Mac and O
          D7
And when Moses went to Egypt and saw those Irish faces             
G7
He took the name Callahan and chang'd it to Oasis
C7
So all the Donihans and all the monivans
G                         C7   F
Must have been Egyptians long agooo.
