GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH
By Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney
GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH,
DON'T MAKE THEM HAVE TO TAKE IT AWAY.
GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH,
MAKE IRELAND IRISH TODAY.
GREAT BRITAIN, YOU ARE TREMENDOUS,
AND NOBODY KNOWS LIKE ME.
BUT REALLY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN THE LAND ACROSS THE SEA?
TELL ME, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT,
IF ON YOUR WAY TO WORK,
YOU WERE STOPPED BY IRISH SOLDIERS?
WOULD YOU LIE DOWN, DO NOTHING,
WOULD YOU GIVE IN, WHO CAN SAY?
GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH,
DON'T MAKE THEM HAVE TO TAKE IT AWAY, YEH.
GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH,
MAKE IRELAND IRISH TODAY, YEAH.
GREAT BRITAIN AND ALL THE PEOPLE,
SAY THAT PEOPLE MUST BE FREE.
AND MEANWHILE, BACK IN IRELAND,
THERE'S A MAN WHO LOOKS LIKE ME.
AND HE DREAMS OF GOD AND COUNTRY
AND HE'S FEELING REALLY BAD.
AND HE'S SITTING IN A PRISON.
SAY, SHOULD HE LIE DOWN, DO NOTHING,
SHOULD HE GIVE IN OR GO MAD?
GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH,
DON'T MAKE THEM HAVE TO TAKE IT AWAY, YEH.
GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH,
MAKE IRELAND IRISH TODAY.
GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH,
DON'T MAKE THEM HAVE TO TAKE IT AWAY.
GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH,
MAKE IRELAND IRISH TODAY, YEAH, YEAH.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
By Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney
MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB,
HIS FLEECE WAS WHITE AS SNOW.
AND EV'RYWHERE THAT MARY WENT
THAT LAMB WAS SURE TO GO.
AND YOU COULD HEAR THEM SINGING:
LA LA,
LA LA,
LA LA LA LA LA LA.
LA LA,

LA LA LA LA LA LA.
HE FOLLOWED HER TO SCHOOL ONE DAY,
IT WAS AGAINST THE RULES.
MADE THE CHILDREN LAUGH AND PLAY TO
SEE A LAMB AT SCHOOL.
AND YOU COULD HEAR THEM SINGING:

LA LA, (la la la la la)
LA LA LA LA LA LA. - EV'RYBODY SINGING!
LA LA, (la la la la la)

AND SO THE TEACHER TURNED IT OUT
BUT STILL IT LINGER NEAR.
WAITING PATIENTLY ABOUT 'TIL
MARY DID APPEAR.
AND YOU COULD HEAR THEM SINGING:
LA LA, (la la la la la)
LA LA, (la la la la la)
LA LA LA LA LA LA. - EV'RYBODY SINGING!
LA LA, (la la la la la)
LA LA, (la la la)
LA LA LA LA LA LA.
BECAUSE THE LAMB LOVED MARY SO,
THE EAGER CHILDREN CRY.
BUT MARY LOVES THE LAMB, YOU KNOW,
THE TEACHER DID REPLY.
AND YOU COULD HEAR THEM SINGING:
LA LA, (la la la la la)
LA LA, (la la la la la)
LA LA LA LA LA LA. - EV'RYBODY SINGING!
LA LA, (la la la la la)
LA LA, (la la la la)
LA LA LA LA LA LA.
