| Lyrics: | NO IRISH NEED APPLY
I'm a decent boy just landed
From the town of Ballyfad;
I
want a situation, yes,
And want it very bad.
I have seen employment advertised,
"It's
just the thing," says I,
"But the dirty spalpeen ended with
'No Irish Need Apply.'
"
"Whoa," says I, "that's an insult,
But to get the place I'll try,"
So I went
to see the blackguard
With his "No Irish Need Apply."
Some do count it a
misfortune
To be christened Pat or Dan,
But to me it is an honor
To be born an
Irishman.
I started out to find the house,
I got it mighty soon;
There I found the
old chap seated,
He was reading the Tribune.
I told him what I came for,
When he in a
rage did fly,
"No!" he says, "You are a Paddy,
And no Irish need apply."
Then I
gets my dander rising
And I'd like to black his eye
To tell an Irish gentleman
"No
Irish Need Apply."
Some do count it a misfortune
To be christened Pat or Dan,
But to
me it is an honor
To be born an Irishman.
I couldn't stand it longer
So a hold
of him I took,
And gave him such a welting
As he'd get at Donnybrook.
He hollered,
"Milia murther,"
And to get away did try,
And swore he'd never write again
"No Irish
Need Apply."
Well he made a big apology,
I told him then goodbye,
Saying, "When
next you want a beating,
Write 'No Irish Need Apply.' "
Some do count it a
misfortune
To be christened Pat or Dan,
But to me it is an honor
To be born an
Irishman.
