O Paddy dear, oh, did ye hear? They’re jerkin’ us around.
Ridge got a brand new color code, by which we all are
bound,
They say the end to war and terror never will be seen,
They say our children’s children won’t see Threat Condition
Green.
There’s orange, and there's yellow, they made a rainbow
true.
And then they say, what’s not so bad is Threat Condition
Blue.
But right there on the top they’ve added Threat Condition
Red.
It’s just their way of telling you, your arse will soon
be dead!
Remember in September, for when the smoke was clear,
Those Irishmen who walked into the fire without fear.
Each faced his death with courage, and each a vow he
makes:
“I’m doing to Al-Qaeda what St. Patrick did to snakes.”
So, Paddy, when you hear of all the rumors going round.
No matter what you do, don’t let the bastards get you
down.
There comes a day when once again our color can be seen.
There comes a day when we’ll return to Threat Condition
Green!
