Oleoley sing the Rodneys and O'Haras
The Kellys and O'Reillys and O'Maras,
Ev'rywhere they're going crackers
on the Bongoes and Maracas,
sure old Ireland's getting
just like Buenos Aires.

From Killarney up to Dublin
all Irish hearts are bubblin'
'cos night and day the fiddlers play
The Tipperary Samba!
Sure they say old Macnamara
plays no more Boom tarara
'cos on the floor
they're shouting for
The Tipperary Samba!
The most exciting moment
that my eyes have ever seen
was to see them do the Samba to
"The Wearing of The Green"
So if you go to a "Ceilidhe"
you'd best bring your shillelagh
'cos things get warm when they perform
The Tipperary Samba!

The Michael Mahoneys and Bridget Maloneys
The Paddy O'Learys and Mary O'Tooles,
The Hanaghans, Brannigans, and The O'Flanagans,
Dancing the Samba according to rule.
All of the Claffertys and the O'Raffertys
Ev'ry O'Duffy and all the O'Neills,
The Murphys and Nolans
the Dooleys and Dolans
are doing the Samba
instead of the Reels.

From Killarney up to Dublin
all Irish hearts are bubblin'
'cos night and day the fiddlers play
The Tipperary Samba!
Sure they say old Macnamara
plays no more Boom tarara
'cos on the floor
they're shouting for
The Tipperary Samba!
The most exciting moment
that my eyes have ever seen
was to see them do the Samba to
"The Wearing of The Green"
So if you go to a "Ceilidhe"
you'd best bring your shillelagh
'cos things get warm when they perform
The Tipperary Samba!
