Me Father Was A Peaceful Man
An Irish parody song about my terrible family
Me father was a peaceful man
He shot a priest and stabbed me Nan
He drowned a rabbit in the bath
And nailed his head above the hearth
Me father was a peaceful man
Â
Me uncle was a lovely fellow
He’d punch you if you just said hello
He’d push our face into a cactus
If we moaned well then he’d whack us
Me uncle was a lovely fellow
Â
Me sister was a super lassie
She rugby tackled Shirley Bassey
She threw a strop in KFC
And drove me car into a tree
Me sister was a super lassie
Â
Me mother was a gentle woman
She’d shoot you if she saw you comin’
She bit the head off all who met her
Bitched about you in a letter
Me mother was a gentle woman
