The McCanns: Ballad of May the Third

"Daddy, daddy"

"Oh there's music and there's dancing,
And a lot of sweet romancing"


"Daddy, daddy"

"When they play the polka,
they all get in the swing"


"Daddy, daddy"

"Every time they hear that com-pa-pa
Everybody feels so tra-la-la
They want to throw their cares away
They all go lah-de-ah-de-ay"


"Daddy, daddy"

"Then they hear a rumble on the floor, the floor
It's the big surprise they're waiting for
And all the couples form a ring
For miles around you'll hear them sing"


"Daddy, daddy"

"Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run
Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here!!"


"Daddy -
Would you know my name, If I saw you in heaven?"
