Verse 1
Up to mighty London
came an Irishman one day.
As the streets are paved with gold,
sure, everyone was gay.
Singing songs of Piccadilly,
Strand and Leicester Square,
till Paddy got excited.
Then he shouted to them there:
 
Chorus (sung twice)
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!
Verse 2
Paddy wrote a letter
to his Irish Molly-O,
saying, "Should you not receive it,
write and let me know"!
"If I make mistakes in spelling,
Molly, dear," said he,
"remember, it's the pen that's bad,
don't lay the blame on me"!
 
Chorus (sung twice)
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!
Verse 3
Molly wrote a neat reply
to Irish Paddy-O,
saying "Mike Maloney
wants to marry me, and so
leave the Strand and Piccadilly
or you'll be to blame.
For love has fairly drove me silly,
hoping you're the same"!
 
Chorus (sung twice)
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!
