My old man said follow the van

And don't dilly dally on the way

Off went the cart with me 'ome packed in it

I walked behind with me old cock linnet

But I dillied and dallied dallied and dillied

Lost the van and don't know where to roam

You can’t find a special like the old time coppers

When you can't find your way 'ome

Roll out the barrel we'll have a barrel of fun

Roll out the barrel we've got the blues on the run

Zing boom tararrel ring out a song of good cheer

Now's the time to roll the barrel for the gang's all here

Pack up your troubles in your 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 worthwhile so
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag

And smile, smile, smile.

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!

Goodbye, Piccadilly,

Farewell, Leicester Square!

It's a long, long way to Tipperary,

But my heart's right there.
