It was at the last election that me uncle Pat got in. He was always fond of politics and the faith I knew he’d win. He made such pretty promises to the people one and all, That’s how he got elected as a member of the Dail.
Oh, me uncle is a T.D. me boys, me uncle is a T.D., And that’s the very reason why nothing bothers me. Me brother was made a foreman, though he never built a wall, Ah, but then you’ll see me uncle, he’s a member of the Dail.
Now, he’s not good at learnin’, sure he never went to school, But that’s no disadvantage in this country as a rule. He was in the county council, but you know that means damn all, But hats off to me uncle, he’s a member of the Dail.
Oh, me uncle is a T.D. me boys, me uncle is a T.D., And that’s the very reason why nothing bothers me. He got a pension for me Da, though he’s not blind at all, Yea, but then you see me uncle, he’s a member of the Dail.
Now he’s not fond of arguing, sure he’s as quiet as a mouse. He never says a wrong word up there in Leinster House. He never connects with either side Fine Gael or Fianna Fail, So long as he draws a salary as a member of the Dail.
Oh, me uncle is a T.D. me boys, me uncle is a T.D. And his sister’s going to marry a ministers secretary, She met him up in Dublin in Barry’s at a ball, That’s how they got acquainted through me uncle in the Dail.
Now, we’re the finest family that ever yet was seen, We make a tidy packet from the makin’ of poitin. It goes across the border and up to Donegal, And they drink it in the lobbies, with my uncle in the Dail.
Oh, me uncle is a T.D. me boys, me uncle is a T.D., And me mother got her pension at the age of forty-three. We draw family allowance though we’ve no kids at all, Yea, but then you see me uncle, he’s a member of the Dail.
Oh, me uncle is a T.D. me boys, me uncle is a T.D., And that’s the very reason why nothing bothers me. We draw family allowance though we’ve no kids at all, But then you see me uncle, he’s a member of the Dail. But then you see me uncle, he’s a member of the Dail.

You’ll Never Walk Alone.
When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high, And don’t be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm, There’s a golden sky, And the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, For your dreams be tossed and blown. Walk on, walk on, With hope in your heart, And you’ll never walk alone. You’ll never walk alone. Walk on, walk on, With hope in your heart, And you’ll never walk alone. You’ll never walk alone.
Lyrics and Vocals: American singer/songwriter Roland Kent LaVoie[Better known by his stage name Lobo–(Latter ‘Lobo’ Spanish word for wolf)].
I’d Love You to Want Me.
When I saw you standing there, About fell off my chair, And when you moved your mouth to speak, I felt the blood go to my feet. Now it took time for me to know, What you tried so not to show, Something in my soul just cried, I see the want in your blue eyes. Baby, I’d love you to want me, The way that I want you, The way that it should be. (Mmm) – Baby, you’d love me to want you, The way that I want to, If you’d only let it be. You told yourself years ago, You’d never let your feelings show, The obligation that you made, For the title that they gave. Baby, I’d love you to want me, The way that I want you, The way that it should be. Baby, you’d love me to want you, The way that I want to, If you’d only let it be. Now, it took time for me to know, What you tried so not to show, Something in my soul just cried, I see the want in your blue eyes. Baby, I’d love you to want me, The way that I want you, The way that it should be. (Mmm) – Baby, you’d love me to want you, The way that I want to, If you’d only let it be. Oh baby, I’d love you to want me, The way that I want you, The way that it should be. (Mmm) – Baby, you’d love me to want you, The way that I want to, If you’d only let it be
