Old Gang's Lullaby

Текст песни The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats - Old Gang's Lullaby

The old gang on the street
What an arrogant group they were
Old mother Kelly Conney was never really there
The troop boys, Jake and Judy, the Parsons on Chapar
Where every girl around town knew he'd only break their heart

Oh-oh-oh, the old gangs on the street
Oh-oh-oh, they crushed you with their feet
Lips were bloody and scars on their faces
Wearing mutton boots and old red braces
Nothing in the pot, was dying for their brother
Chased by cops, they'd fought for another
Oh-oh-oh, the old gangs on the street
Oh-oh-oh, they crushed you with their feet

The old gang on the street
Now each loyal mother brags
No other neighborhood can boast
As many service his flags
Kelly Conney's boy is a surgeon
The Parsons' black sheep son
Was obscene in the paper for heroic deeds he's done

The troop boys send the navy though
They're only in their teens
Are mates with Scamp and Tony
And the chase for submarines
The old gang on the street, we've for-forgotten now
How on Halloween they stole a gaggle sold down cow

Oh-oh-oh, the old gangs on the street
Oh-oh-oh, they crushed you with their feet
Lips were bloody and scars on their faces
Wearing mutton boots and old red braces
Nothing in the pot, was dying for their brother
Chased by cops, they'd fought for another
Oh-oh-oh, the old gangs on the street
Oh-oh-oh, they crushed you with their feet

Oh, all the boys of yesterday, they're now our fighting men
And God would only be happy if they'd all come home again
All the boys of yesterday (oh, oh)
They're now our fighting men (oh, oh)
And God would only be happy if they'd all come home again (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh, the old gangs on the street
Oh-oh-oh, they crushed you with their feet
