Ah, you changed the great antiquity to give us all a voice,
You feared no king or lawyer of your time,
Well, we could do with some of that in this day and age,
A twentieth century wisdom of the nine.

Hey Paddy, hey Paddy,
Hey there, Paddy, where did you go'
Hey Paddy,
Hey Paddy, we could use you for a year or so.

Though you has the opponents, you dealt with them your way,
Your courage left your critics in your wake,
And Ireland was a changed land when Paddy had his way, especially if your daddy was a snake.

Hey Paddy, hey Paddy,
Hey there, Paddy, where did you go'
Hey Paddy,
Hey Paddy, we could use you for a year or so.

So take a look at what we've got,
I think you would agree, that we could use old Paddy or the like,
And if you think you got the guts to change a messed up world, then, with our blessing, step up to the mic.

Hey Paddy, hey Paddy,
Hey there, Paddy, where did you go'
Hey Paddy,
Hey Paddy, we could use you for a year or so,
Hey Paddy, hey Paddy,
Hey there, Paddy, where did you go'
Hey Paddy,
Hey Paddy, we could use you for a year or so,
Hey Paddy, hey Paddy,
Hey there, Paddy, where did you go'
Hey Paddy,
Hey Paddy, we could use you for a year or so.
