letra de ireland and australia - john spillane

[verse 1]
ireland and australia were walking down the road
said ireland to australia, “will ya help me with my load?
i’ve got fenians i’ve got criminals, take them off my hands
send them for a holiday down to van diemens land” a-ha
whack-sum-diddley-ah-rum-whack-sum-dee-dum-diddley-dee

[verse 2]
i’ve got all the wretched misery human life can be
people starvin’ in their houses for the want of a bite to eat
broken hearted miscreants who wish they’d never been born
for the stealing of a loaf of bread or a half an еar of corn a-ha
whack-sum-diddley-ah-rum-whack-sum-dee-dum-diddley-dee

[chorus]
who’s superior? who’s infеrior? who’s talking down to who?
well the world is always turning and underneath she’s burning
this world is made of wonder, of thunder and of plunder
this world is made of love
who’s down under? who’s up above?

[verse 3]
said australia to ireland, “i’ve got troubles of my own
the white man he come over here, what he see he think he own
he take all of my copper, he take away my gold
he take away my children with his christian stranglehold” a-ha
whack-sum-diddley-ah-rum-whack-sum-dee-dum-diddley-dee
[verse 4]
said australia to england “i’ve got room enough alright
pack ’em into leaky ships and sail them out of sight
there’ll be no native problem we have them well subdued
heavy clearings in tasmania and on the mainland too” a-ha
whack-sum-diddley-ah-rum-whack-sum-dee-dum-diddley-dee

[chorus]
who’s superior? who’s inferior? who’s talking down to who?
well the world is always turning and underneath she’s burning
this world is made of wonder, of thunder and of plunder
this world is made of love
who’s down under? who’s up above?

[verse 5]
oh the white man and the black man were sittin’ down for tea
said the white man to the black man, “now you belong to me
i’m selling all your children into slavery” ha-ha-ha
whack-sum-diddley-ah-rum-whack-sum-dee-dum-diddley-dee

[verse 6]
oh, the catholic and the protestant were fighting over land
said the catholic to the protestant, “i just don’t understand
what troubles you ther most, is it the transubstantiation of the host
the father, son, or the holy ghost? the theology? the philosophy?
the codology? the ideology? the frontal lobotomy or the bottle in front of me?
who’s down under? who’s up above?
[chorus]
who’s superior? who’s inferior? who’s talking down to who?
well the world is always turning and underneath she’s burning
this world is made of wonder, of thunder and of plunder
this world is made of love
who’s down under? who’s up above?

who’s superior? who’s inferior? who’s talking down to who?
well the world is always turning and underneath she’s burning
this world is made of wonder, of thunder and of plunder
this world is made of love
who’s down under? who’s up above?
