Oh, Dublin you're my city

I'm proud to call you mine

Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime

No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea

My heart prefers those Dubliners like me

Dublin men and women are the salt of all the earth

Fiercely true and loyal to the town that gave them birth

A Dublin man spends all his life making friends

With black porter each evening at eight

When they sound his death knell his last prayer is to dwell

By Saint James' pearly gate

Oh, Dublin you're my city

I'm proud to call you mine

Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime

No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea

My heart prefers those Dubliners like me

Dublin is to Dubliners a dear old dirty town

It's getting dearer every year and hard to earn a pound

And as for the Liffey that gash through the city

It's thicker than treacle or chalk

It will soon be so grim that instead of a swim

They'll be holding the Liffey walk

Thugs and drugs and muggings are the order of the day

The headlines yell: "We've gone to hell it's time crime didn't pay"

The gangs and the police meet nightly on Foley Street

Bleeding their way through the news

It's become quite a scene the new show on our screen

Will be Sean McDermott Street blues

Oh, Dublin you're my city

I'm proud to call you mine

Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime

No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea

My heart prefers those Dubliners like me

Even though we've troubles we can always find a smile

A 'Dub' will wear a certain air I think you'd call it style

Those Guinness streaked faces from the Phoenix Park races

Cheer up the grey streets with their jibes

Though most landmarks are gone, the rich pagent lives on

And Molly Malone still survives

So, Dublin you're my city

I'm proud to call you mine

Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime

No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea

My heart prefers those Dubliners like me

Dublin you're my city

I'm proud to call you mine

Divided by the Liffey's greasy slime

No matter who I love and woo at home or over sea

My heart prefers those Dubliners like me
