I'll sing you a song of peace and love,
A             E              A
Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.
       A                    D      A
To the land that reigns all lands above.

Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.
    F#m
May peace and plenty be her share
    Bm                           E
Who kept our homes from want and care,
    A                    D      A
God bless Mother England is our prayer.
A             E              A
Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.

[Chorus]
A             E              A
Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.

Come and listen while we pray.

Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.

[Verse 2]
     A                  D         A
When we were savage, fierce and wild
     A                 D      A
She came like a mother to her child.
    F#m
She gently raised us from the slime
Bm                          E
Kept our hands from hellish crime,
    A                        D        A
And sent us to Heaven in her own good time.

[Chorus]
A             E              A
Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.
D          E

Come and listen while we pray.

Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.

[Verse 3]
        A                D        A
Now our fathers oft were very bad boys.
A                  D         A
Guns and pikes are dangerous toys.
     F#m
From Bearna Baol to Bunker Hill
Bm
They made poor England weep her fill,
    A              D        A
But ould Brittania loves us still!

[Chorus]
A             E              A
Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.
D          E
So we say, Hip Hooray!
A               D        A
Come and listen while we pray.
A             E              A
Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.

[Verse 4]
    A            D       A
Now Irishmen, forget the past!
    A                        D      A
And think of the time that's coming fast.
F#m
When we shall all be civilized,
Bm                 E
Neat and clean and well-advised.
    A            D          A
And won't Mother England be surprised?

[Chorus]
A             E              A
Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.
D          E
So we say, Hip Hooray!

Come and listen while we pray.
A             E              A
Whack fol the diddle all the di do day.
