lyrics

Dublin says 'What's the story Clare?
Galway, what's the weather like over there?
Donegal, we hear you although not near you
Cork, we love you though we slag and we jeer you'
Dublin says 'Cad e an sceal Kerry?
How are yiz in Carlow
Hello down in Derry, Fermanagh, Roscommon, Cavan, Antrim,
Waterford, Westmeath, Meath and Leitrim'

Mad days these that we're goin through
Sad days these - feelin blue
But we'll pull through and aw when we do
There's a hug the size of Jupiter waitin for you

Dublin says 'What's the craic in Sligo? in Wexford and Wicklow
In Longford, in Mayo, Monaghan, Laois, Offaly, Kildare,
Tipperary, Louth know that we care'
Dublin says 'Armagh are yiz alright?
Limerick, Kilkenny lend us your light
East coast, west coast, North coast, South, Midlands,
Dublin's reaching out.'

Mad days these that we're goin through
Sad days these - feelin blue
But we'll pull through and aw when we do
There's a hug the size of Jupiter waitin for you

Ireland wishes the whole wide world well
Tis upon the same planet where we all dwell
Tis from the same sun we get our shine
We'll be grand, it'll be fine
Tough times now, tough times ahead
Sure you'll be a long time dead
Don't go takin to the bed
Instead keep the body and mind well fed
Dublin says 'Stay strong Glasgow,
Shout out to Manila, Munich and Moscow,
Melbourne you're massive,
Sidney you beaut,
Boston you're deadly,
Cairo stay cute
Cabra be smart
Coolock take heart
It's not forever that we'll be apart
Til then may the road rise to meet you
Cannot wait to physically greet you

Mad days these that we're goin through
Sad days these have ye feelin blue
But we'll pull through and aw when we do
There's a hug the size of Jupiter waitin for you...
