Up the Rebels Dance Medley The Wolfe Tones

The Teddy Bear's Head
Here's up the rebels (The rebels, the rebels)
(The rebels, the rebels, the rebels, the rebels, the rebels)
Here's up the rebels, get back our teddy's head
Our face and tail are all our own, but our brains are foreign-led

On the outskirts of Europe, in the Atlantic so fair
There's a country called old Ireland that looks like a teddy bear
It's an island that's split in two, with the border in our head
Our face and tail are all our own, but our brains are foreign-led

So it's here's up the rebels, get back our teddy's head
Our face and tail are all our own, but our brains are foreign-led

Our face is over in Donegal, our brains are in Belfast
Our arms outstretch in Galway for our friends as they go past
Our hair is in the north coast, in Derry, Antrim, Down
I'm sure this head would be better off without the bloody crown

So it's here's up the rebels, get back our teddy's head
Our face and tail are all our own, but our brains are foreign-led

Our backbone's on the east coast, from Dublin to Dundalk
Our legs and feet in Kerry, they have shoes that never walked
Our backside's from Cork to Wexford, our heart is in Midlands
We're facing towards America, with our ass to England
