Lyrics
 
We'll be takin boats and trains
A few of Mick O'Learys planes
Jaaaaysus we don't need a pilot
Slabs of stout and a workin toilet
Copenhagen here we come
A World Cup job to be done
Lead us out O'Neill and Keane
Stand up for the Boys in Green
We've waited long enough
Lets baaaayte the Danes and go to the World Cup
 
Years ago the Danish lads
Came over here and went shtone mad
They went on a massive spree
Burned down all the monasteries
Lootin places for the laugh
Jaaaysus Christ they wrecked the gaff
Burned our holy books it's true
Et our spuds and cabbage too
We;ve waited long enough
Let's baaayte the Danes and go to the World Cup
 
Italia 90, 'twas some crack
Put 'em under pressure Jack
94 USA
Razor Houghton made our day
Saipan just a little bump
Roy came home, he had the hump
Russia World Cup here we go
Davy Keogh will say hello
We've waited long enough
Lets baaayte the Danes and go to the World Cup
 
Getting credit union loans
Sell the car and doul iPhone
Boys in Green roll along
Hon Tipperary and Shane long
Meetin' lads from Cork and Clare
Playin bodhrans in Red Square
Eamon Dunphy at home bitchin'
Vladivostok in the kitchen
We just can't get enough
Let's baaayte the Danes and go to the World Cup.
