“One day, we built a house on the hilltop high
Bob and I
Storey and me , a spoof that Sinners could fill
And were had a laugh to be called
The players who lived on the Hill
Now , we’re subtracting a thing or two
A paramilitary wing or two
So now we’ll no longer be called the thugs who lived on the hill”
My apologies to Hammerstein and Kern, who were never in the IRA, not even Ira Gershwin.
