Whist now Nora, listen dear,
while there's not a soul to hear
I'm goin' to tell you something
that's not blarney.
Whisper, now come closer, do,
While I tell a love that's true,
for a certain blackeyed lass
named Nora Kearney;
Sure, I'm the lover now, of course,
been years upon the police force,
and saved enough to buy a little home, sir;
I loves you Nora, I confess,
I've bought the ring,
so please say yes,
Thro' life I'd hate
to walk my bate alone, sir.

Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
Just like the shamrock,
I love you.
Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
I hope you've no one else in view.
Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
You'll be the roundsman 'round our home.
Arrah, Nora, Nora, Nora,
there's a great big future for you,
if you'll marry Officer Malone.

Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
Just like the shamrock,
I love you.
Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
I hope you've no one else in view.
Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
You'll be the roundsman 'round our home.
Arrah, Nora, Nora, Nora,
there's a great big future for you,
if you'll marry Officer Malone.

Listen, Nora, to my plea,
Or I'll go to Judge Magee,
have papers served
and you I'll be attachin'
I do this cause I love you so,
What love is, sure we all know,
it's an itchin'
'round the heart
you can't be scratchin'
I'll court you to the old court room,
you the bride and I the groom,
An officer you know,
you can't resist, Mam;
You're gettin' angry I can see,
you're goin' to take a lick at me,
For you've got both your hands
now in your fist, mam.

Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
Just like the shamrock,
I love you.
Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
I hope you've no one else in view.
Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
You'll be the roundsman 'round our home.
Arrah, Nora, Nora, Nora,
there's a great big future for you,
if you'll marry Officer Malone.

Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
Just like the shamrock,
I love you.
Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
I hope you've no one else in view.
Tip, Tip, Tipperary Nora,
You'll be the roundsman 'round our home.
Arrah, Nora, Nora, Nora,
there's a great big future for you,
if you'll marry Officer Malone.
