TIPPERARY GIRL

from MONA LISA SMILE by Billy O'Dwyer Bob

/

lyrics

Chorus
Hair of gold, eyes of blue
Prettiest girl I ever knew
Skin as white as precious pearl
She was my Tipperary Girl.

She just chanced to pass me by
Pretty as a peach on a pumpkin pie
Fresh as a flower in full bloom
Sweet as a sunny summer's afternoon.

I was smitten, got me good
Never thought that Cupid could
Speared me down into my soul
Spun me 'round like a battened bowl.

Chorus

I was courting, pure romance
Asked her if she'd like to dance
Smiled at me as she took my hand
Swung me 'til I couldn't stand.

Now she could dance and she could swing
Like a newborn lamb in spring
Up and down and to and fro
Round and round and round we go.

Chorus

I fell heads and over heels
Heart was jumping, jigs and reels
Twitched and twittered, ill at ease
Like a hound-dog scratching fleas.

Now young and foolish, old and wise
Enter love with opened eyes
Treat her right or from the start
That Tipperary Girl, she'll break your heart.

Chorus x2
