1. Lord Nelson stood in pompous state, Upon his pillar high And down along O'Connell Street He cast a wicked eye He thought how this barbaric race Had fought the British Crown Yet they were content to let him stay Right there in Dublin town! 2. For many years, Lord Nelson stood, And no one seemed to care He would squint at Dan O'Connell Who was standin right down there He thought the Irish love me Or they wouldnt let me stay All except that band of blighters That they call the IRA!

3. And then in nineteen sixty six, On March the seventh day, A bloody great explosion Made Lord Nelson rock and sway! He crashed, and Dan O'Connell cried, In woeful misery Now twice as many pigeons Will come and shit on me! Refrain: So remember Brave Lord Nelson, boys, He has never known defeat And for his reward they stuck him up In the middle of O'Connell Street! Final Refrain: So remember brave Lord Nelson, boys, He has never known defeat! And for his reward they blew him up In the middle of O'Connell Street!
