[Verse 1]
Em A comical genius was thinking one day D How he'd jack up a job and receive handy pay Em D He did not like begging and work was too hard Em So he got a bright notion to join up the guard Em D Em Diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
[Verse 2]
Em Well he went up to Dublin, to the depot went in D Got a new suit of blue as bright as new pins Em D They drilled him, they drilled him, they drilled him so hard Em The old sergeant proclaimed him a fully-fledged guard Em D Em Diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
[Verse 3]
Em He was stationed somewhere near the town of Athy D Round the roads of the district, he kept a close eye Em D Well the girls they admired him as all brassers do Em Fell in love with the guard and his new suit of blue Em D Em Diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
[Verse 4]
Em Well they'd laugh and they'd wink and they'd nod as he passed D Oh but this civvy guard had his eye on one lass Em D But this little colleen, she being a die-hard Em Soon made it quite clear that she wanted no guard Em D Em Diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
[Verse 5]
Em One time while on duty on a dark winter's night D He caught her out cycling without any light Em D "Where's your light, miss?" Said he; for an answer says she Em "It's next to me liver, where you'll never be!" Em D Em Diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day Em D Em Diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum diddly-i-dum dum day
