Dp to mighty London came an Irishman one day, As the streets are paved with gold, sure everyone was' gay, Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand, and Leicester Square, Till Padd£ got! excited, 'then ho shouted to them there: ' (Chorus.) It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Tipperary, To the sweetest girl I'know. 'Good-bye, Piccadilly: farewell, Leicester square; ', It's a long ; long way to Tipperary, But my heart's right there. Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly 0, Saying: "Should you not receivo it, write and let me know! [f I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear," said he, "Remember it's the pen that's bad; don't lay the blame on me." ' (Chorus.)

Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy 0, Saying: "Mike Maloney wants to marry mo, and so Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you'll be to blame, For love has fairly drove me silly; hoping you're the samo!" (Chorus.)
