No Irish Need Apply - Pete Seeger

I'm a decent boy just landed from the town of Ballyfad

I want a situation

Yes and wants it very bad

I seen employment advertised

It's just the thing says I

But the dirty spalpeen ended with

No Irish need apply

Woah says I

But that's an insult

Though to get the place I'll try

So I went to see the blaggard with his

No Irish need apply

Some may think it a misfortune

To be christened pat or dan

But to me it is an honor to be born an Irishman

I started out to find the house

I got it mighty soon

There I found the old chap seated

He was reading the tribune

I told him what I came for

When he in a rage did fly

No he says

You are a paddy and no Irish need apply

Well I gets my dander risin'

I'd like to black his eye

To tell an Irish gentleman

No Irish need apply

Some may think it a misfortune

To be christened pat or dan

But to me it is an honor to be born an Irishman

I couldn't stand it longer

So ahold of him I took

And I gave him such a whelping

As he'd get at Donnybrook

He hollered milia murther and to get away did try

And swore he'd never write again

No Irish need apply

Well he makes a big apology

I bid him then good bye

Saying when next you want a beating

You write no Irish need apply

Some may think it a misfortune

To be christened pat or dan

But to me it is an honor to be born an Irishman
