There's a dashin' sort of boy Which they call his Party's Joy, And his smile-that-won't-come-off would quite disarm ye; And he played the leadin' hand In the Helter-Skelter Band, Known as Jimmy Dooley's Circulating Army. When the rank and file they found, They were marchin' round and round, They one and all began to act unruly; And the letter that he wrote, Sure it got the Labor goat, So we set ourselves to deal with Captain Dooley.
Chorus: Whill-il-loo. High Ho! We'll all be there you know, The repartees and ructions they will charm ye; And we'll see which we prefer, Is it Dooley or McGirr, To take command of Jimmy Dooley's Army.
