Finnegan Wakes (1966)
The Dublin Fusiliers
Well, you’ve heard about the Indians with their tommyhawks and spears
And of the U.N. warriors, the heroes of recent years
Also I might mention the British Grenadiers
Well, none of them were in it with the Dublin Fusiliers
You’ve heard about the Light Brigade and of the deeds they’ve done
And of the other regiments that many victories won
But the pride of all the armies, dragoons and carabiniers
Is that noble band of warriors, the Dublin Fusiliers
With your left turn, right about face, this is the way we go
Chargin’ with fixed bayonets, the terror of every foe
A glory to old Ireland, as proud as buccaneers
And a terror to creation are the Dublin Fusiliers
Well, you’ve heard about the wars between the Russians and the Brits
The Sar1one day was reading an old copy of Titbits
And when the general came to him and threw himself down in tears
“We’d better run back like blazes, here’s the Dublin Fusiliers!”
The Sar commenced to tremble and he bit his underlip
“Begorrah, boys,” says he, “I think we’d better take the tip
Them devils come from Dublin, and to judge from what I hears
They’re demons of militiamen, the Dublin Fusiliers.”
Wi’ your left turn, right about face, this is the way we go
Chargin’ with fixed bayonets, the terror of every foe
A glory to old Ireland, as proud as buccaneers
And a terror to creation are the Dublin Fusiliers
Well, the sergeant cried, “Get ready, lads, lay down each sword and gun
Take off your shoes and stockings, boys, and when I tell yez, run!”
They didn’t stop but started and amidst three ringing cheers
Came a shower of bricks and bullets from the Dublin Fusiliers
The time that Julius Caesar tried to land down at Ringsend
The Coastguard couldn’t stop him, so for the Dublins they did send
And just as they were landing, lads, they heard three ringing cheers
“Get back to Rome like blazes, here’s the Dublin Fusiliers!”
Wi’ your left turn, right about face, this is the way we go
Chargin’ with fixed bayonets, the terror of every foe
A glory to old Ireland, as proud as buccaneers
And a terror to creation are the Dublin Fusiliers
- 1. many printed sources give this word as “Czar,” which is actually funnier, but I actually think it is “Sar,” as in “sergeant.”
