Verse 1:
It was Christmas in Kirkubbin 1981 The boys were mashin whisky And the girls were drinkin rum

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

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