The Teddy Bear's Head Songtext
von Wolfe Tones

Here′s up the rebels
Get back our teddy's head
Our face and tail are all our own
But our brains are foreign lead
On the outskirts of European Atlantic so fair
There′s a country called Oul' Ireland that looks like a teddy bear
It's an island that′s split in two with a bother in our head
Our face and tail are all our own but our brains are foreign lead

So it′s here's up the rebels
Get back our teddy′s head
Our face and tail are all our own
But our brains are foreign lead


Her face is o'er in Donegal
Her brains are in Belfast
Her arms out stretching Galway
For her friends that do go past
Her hair is on the north coast
In Derry and Strabane
I′m sure this head would be better off
Without the bloody crown

So it's here′s up the rebels
Get back our teddy's head
Our face and tail are all our own
But our brains are foreign lead

Her backbone's on the east coast
From Dublin to Dundalk
Her legs and feet in Kerry
Have shoes that never walked
Her backside′s from Cork to Wexford
Her heart is in Midlands
We′re facing towards Amerikay
With our ass to England

So it's here′s up the rebels
Get back our teddy's head
Our face and tail are all our own
But our brains are foreign lead


On the outskirts of European Atlantic so dear
There′s a country called Oul' Ireland that looks like a teddy bear
It′s an island that's split in two with a bother in our head
Our face and tail are all our own but our brains are foreign lead

So it's here′s up the rebels
Get back our teddy′s head
Our face and tail are all our own
But our brains are foreign lead
