[F] [C] [F]
I just returned from Europe, I've seen London and Paris,
[Bb] And I'm glad to get back home to [A] Yankee land.
[F] In fact the little USA looks better now to me,
It's a real place for the real folks on the stand.
[A] But still I often sit and think, what would this [Em] country be,
If we [A] hadn't men like [Am] Rosenstein and Hughes?
[E] You'd surely have a kingdom, there'd be no democracy,
If [Bb] it wasn't for the [C] Irish and the tunes.
[F] What would this great [F] Yankee nation really, really ever do,
[Gm] If it wasn't [F] for a [Bb] Levy, [G] a Monaghan or [D] Donahue?
[F] Where would we get our policemen,
Why Uncle Sam would have [Bb] the blues?
Without the Pats and [F] Isidors, you'd have no big department stores,
If it wasn't for the Irish and the tunes.
[Dm]
You all know Charlie Froman and his brother Dan, of course,
How [B] often have you laughed at [F] Louis Mann?
And Lou and Joe, who used to run the Little Music Hall,
And that wonder-clever George M.
Cohan?
Dave [E] Warfield, Peter Daly, Charlie Ross and Andrew Manck,
For [E] years and years they drove [Am] away the blues.
Where would you get your actors from, I'd really like to know,
If it [D] wasn't for the Irish and [C] the tunes?
[Dm] What would you do [F] for amusements,
There would be no place to go,
[Bb] If it wasn't for [Dm] the Schubert,
[G] Frank McKee and Monk [D] Oslo,
[E] Kay and the end Billy [F] Brady,
Hammerstein I must include.
[Bb] I want to hear Dave Velasco say,
You couldn't stage your play today,
If it wasn't for the Irish and the tunes.
Talk about a combination,
Hear my words and make your [Dm] noise.
On St.
Patrick's Day, [Gm] Roseanne Skeves
[G] Pins a shamrock [D] on his [F] post.
There's a sympathetic feeling,
Between the blooms and [Dm] Macadu.
Why, Tammany would surely fall,
There'd really be no [F] haul at all,
If it wasn't for the Irish and the tunes.
