Banjo Paterson - Jimmy Dooley`s ArmyBanjo Paterson - Jimmy Dooley`s Army
Work rating: Low


There`s a dashin` sort of boy Which they call his Party`s Joy, And his smile-that-won`t-come-off would quite disarm ye; And he played the leadin` hand In the Helter-Skelter Band, Known as Jimmy Dooley`s Circulating Army. When the rank and file they found, They were marchin` round and round, They one and all began to act unruly; And the letter that he wrote, Sure it got the Labor goat, So we set ourselves to deal with Captain Dooley. Chorus Whill-il-loo. High Ho! We`ll all be there you know, The repartees and ructions they will charm ye; And we`ll see which we prefer, Is it Dooley or McGirr, To take command of Jimmy Dooley`s Army. When we`re marchin` to the poll, And we`re under his control, We sometimes feel a trifle unsalubrious; For by one and all `twas said That if our objective`s Red, To call it claret-coloured makes us dubious. Sure, the Fat Men one fine day They chanced to come our way, And we thought that we should bate them well and trooly; But we let them pass us by And not half a brick did fly, `Twas then we tore our tickets up on Dooley. Chorus Whill-il-loo. High Ho! We`ll all be there you know, The repartees and ructions they will charm ye; And we`ll see which we prefer, Is it Dooley or McGirr, To take command of Jimmy Dooley`s Army.
