Off to France. Lyrics Corrigan Brothers
Oh we’re off to france
O Neills green army
Oh we’re off to france
From bundoran to killarney
For a time it looked a dream
But o neill and Royston keane
Have us off to france
Next June
Thought we had no chance
When we lost to scotland
Then Shane long came on
And got three points off Deutschland
Davy keogh says bonjour
The irish boys on tour
Oh we’re of to france
Next summer
Chorus
Ole ole ole ole yeah
Ole ole ole now
Ole ole ole ole yeah
Ole ole ole now
Makin plans
Hiring vans
Bookin flights
On ryainair
Singing songs
All along
The fields of
Athenry there
From belmullet to blarney
O Neills great green army
Are off to france
In June
Chorus
