Verses as sung in early versions

Up to mighty London

Came an Irishman one day

As the streets are paved with gold

Sure, everyone was gay

Singing songs of Piccadilly,

Strand and Leicester Square

Till Paddy got excited

And he shouted to them there...

It's a long way to Tipperary...

Paddy wrote a letter

To his Irish Molly-O,

Saying, "Should you not receive it

Write and let me know!"

"If I make mistakes in spelling,

Molly dear," said he,

"Remember, it's the pen that's bad,

Don't lay the blame on me!"

It's a long way to Tipperary...

Molly wrote a neat reply

To Irish Paddy-O

Saying Mike Maloney

Wants to marry me and so

Leave the Strand and Picadilly

Or you'll be to blame

For love has fairly drove me silly:

Hoping you're the same!

It's a long way to Tipperary...

That's the wrong way to kiss

But we learnt how over there
