Irish Song Lyrics

Helicopter Song, The 
Up like a bird and high over the city "Three men are missing" I heard the warder cry "Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison Or one of those new Ministers" said the warder from Mountjoy 
Early one evening as the branchmen they were sleeping A little helicopter flew in from the sky Down into the yard where some prisoners were walking "Get ready for inspection" said the warder in the ´Joy 
Down in the yard through the pushing and the shoving Three of the prisoners they climbed upon the bird And up and away they went into the grey skies "I think someone escaped" said the warder in the ´Joy 
Over in the Dail they were drinking gin and brandy The Minister for Justice was soaking up the sun Then came this little message that some prisoners were escaping "I think it´s three of the Provos" said the warder in the ´Joy 
"Search every hole search every nook and cranny Let no man rest until these men are found, For this cannot happen to a law and order government." "I think you´ll never find them said the warder in Mountjoy"
