Oh my name is McNamara I’m the leader of the band
And though we’re small in number we’re the best band in the land
I am the conductor and I always like to play
With all the good musicioners you here about today.

When the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns all blaze away
McCarthy puffs the old bassoon and Doyle the pipes will play
Hennessey, Tenancy tootles the flute me word it’s something grand
A credit to old Ireland boys is McNamara’s band.

Whenever an election’s on we play on either side
The way we play those fine old aires fill Irish hearts with pride
If old Tom Moore was living now he’d make you understand
And say there’s nothing finer than old MacNamara’s band.

When the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns all blaze away
McCarthy puffs the old bassoon and Doyle the pipes will play
Hennessey, Tenancy tootles the flute me word it’s something grand
A credit to old Ireland boys is McNamara’s band.

We play at wakes and weddings and at every county ball
And at the great man’s funeral we played the march in Soul
When the Prince of Wales to Ireland came he shook me by the hand
And said there’s nothing finer than old MacNamarasband.

When the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns all blaze away
McCarthy puffs the old bassoon and Doyle the pipes will play
Hennessey, Tenancy tootles the flute me word it’s something grand
A credit to old Ireland boys is McNamara’s band.
