Gerry The Liar - Words and music by Tony O Hara

I was born about ten thousand years a go
In Ballymurphy near the Falls road you know
It was me that chased the vermin, while St. Patrick preached the sermon
And I'll kill any wan that says it isn't so

Chorus
Singing rightful too-ra-laddie too-ra lee
There is no one who can tell a lie like me
You can search until you tire, you won't find a bigger ( liar
I'm Gerry Adams you've seen me on TV

I saw Eve go pickin' apples off a tree
She came over and she offered one to me
I turned and said, "Dear madam, go dont you trick this Mr Adams
cos it me that tells God what to do, you see


With King Billy at the Boyne I heard them call
On his followers to follow till they fall
Then he said, "We'll win quite easy, and he'll
canonize, My Friend Paisley."
So I went and hit him a kick right in the balls

It was during World War II I met them all
There was Roosevelt and Churchill and De Gaulle
Then one day I nearly fainted, I was having my house painted
There was Hitler hanging paper in the hall


In was back in nineteen seventy two
I was singing a verse of the foggy dew
My Friends said, 'your singing's grand, you should be in a ballad band
And a great big hairy beard I went and grew

It was years ago I was leader of the RA
And the UVF, UDA and IN-LA
And please don't think I'm Barmy
I also led the British Army
And Had Maggie Thatcher Saying Tiocfaidh Ar La

But Darky Hughes he said this wasn't so
Dolores agreed and said we need to know
That I talk so much Bullshit
I could tell a lie and prove it
And I still haven't gone away you know
