We had to move away 'Cause rent we couldn't pay The moving van came 'round just after dark There was me and my old man shoving things inside the van Which we'd of'en done before let me remark We packed all that could be packed in the van and that's a fact And we got inside all that we could get inside Then we packed all we could pack on the tailboard at the back 'Til there wasn't any room for me to ride
My old man said follow the van and don't dilly dally on the way Off went the van with me home packed in it I followed on with me old cock linnet But I dillied and dallied, dallied and I dillied I lost the van and don't know where to roam You can't trust the specials like the old time coppers When you can't find your way home
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
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
Private perks is a funny little codger With a smile, a funny smile Five feet none he's an artful little dodger With a smile, a sunny smile Flush or broke he'll have his little joke He can't be supressed All the other fellows have to grin When he gets this off his chest
Pack up your troubles in you old kit bag and smile smile smile While you've a lucifer to light your fag smile boys that's the style What's the use of worrying it never was worth while, so Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile smile smile

We'll meet again don't know where don't know when But I know we'll meet again some sunny day Keep smiling through just like you always do 'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away So will you please say hello to the folks that I know Tell them I won't be long They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go I was singing this song We'll meet again don't know where don't know when But I know we'll meet again some sunny day Yes I know we'll meet again some sunny day Some sunny day
