Johnny, the boy called Mullane (John Mullane)

(air : Kelly, the boy from Killane)

What's the news, did you hear?
Did we beat Tipp and Clare?
Are the boys Munster champions once more?
Did the rebels lie down?
Did they forfeit their crown?
Did we send them around to the back-door?
Yes, we're champions again
Thanks to Dan and to Ken
But thanks most of all to one man
You can keep your Roy Keane
And Sean Og O hAilpin
We have Johnny, the boy called Mullane

There's an army of blue
It's the Deise Abu
And they're marching on Semple's hallowed ground
There's an army of red
And we left them for dead
And they crawled back to Cork without a sound
Goodly news, goodly news
Always win, never lose
As we march to an All-Ireland
Swing your hurleys aloft
And give three ringing cheers
For Johnny, the boy called Mullane

So here's to the team
And the All-Ireland dream
Every man on the panel is a star
We won't give a puck
Whether dry sod or muck
Once the sliotar is crossing o'er the bar
Yes, we're champions again
Thanks to Dan and to Ken
But thanks most of all to one man
You can keep your Roy Keane
And Sean Og O hAilpin
We have Johnny, the boy called Mullane
