Jack's Heroes Lyrics - Pogues

They wear green and they are beautiful 

And their hearts are filled with love 

They're as pure as any lily 

And as gentle as the dove 

They'll sing and cheer in harmony 

Till their throats are cracked and sore 

But there is no doubt, you'll hear them shout 

When Jackie's heroes score 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do 

They'll come from Dublin 

And from Cork, from dear old Donegal 

From London, Boston and New York 

From anywhere at all 

From Parramatta to Fermoy 

Strabane to Skibereen 

And will the shout go up 

When the World Cup is raised on Stephens Green 

(Yes it will) 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do 

And when we're there in Italy 

On Sardinia's sunny shore 

We'll be the boys you'll want to see 

The boys you'll all adore 

We'll play like perfect gentlemen 

To win, to lose, to draw 

For we're here to take the World Cup 

To Paddy's shamrock shore 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do 

Too-ra-loo, too-ra-loo 

And we'll follow Jack's heroes 

Whatever they do
