00:02One fine day after working hard, I was walking home from my da's farm yard
00:06With a rumble in me belly, skipping one, two, three, wondering what my ma had awaiting me
00:10I asked me, ma, what's in that pot?
00:13Oh, son, she said, there's an awful lot, it's a recipe a grandma gave to me
00:17As we danced to the song of the one, two, three, to Ziris Jew, oh, Irish Jew
00:22She's boiling in the pot and it's good for you, it's filled with everything you need
00:26As she danced to the song of the one, two, three
00:28Oh, Irish Jew, oh, Irish Jew
00:30Just boil it in the pot and it's good for you
00:33You're the devil of a bit that you cannot do
00:35When you've got a belly full of Irish Jew
00:41The very next day that I awoke
00:44I'd a skip in me step and a song in me throat
00:46I said to me, ma, how can this be?
00:48I'll tell you, son, with a one, two, three
00:50It's the boiling in the pot when you mix it up a lot
00:53That gives you the strength that you have not got
00:55Puts the goodness in your body and the dance in your shirt
00:57And gives you all the strength for a boy like you
01:13Have it for your lunch and have it for your tea
01:19You'll scoop down the road singing dittly-dee
01:22With a tra-la-la skipping one, two, three
01:24It'll keep you as strong as a boy should be
01:35Now I thank me, ma, in every way
01:37For making me the man that I am today
01:39She fed me with that magic brew
01:42The bubbling of the pot of the Irish Jew
01:44Tis Irish Jew, oh Irish Jew
01:46Just boil it in a pot and it's good for you
01:48It's filled with everything you need
01:50As she danced to the song of the one, two, three
01:53With a tra-la-la skipping one, two, three
01:55It'll keep you as strong as a boy should be
02:01Now I thank me, ma, in every way
02:04For making me the man that I am today
02:06She fed me with that magic brew
02:08The bubbling of the pot of the Irish Jew
02:10Oh Irish Jew, oh Irish Jew
02:13Just boil it in a pot and it's good for you
02:15Not a devil of a bit that you cannot do
02:17When you've got a belly full of Irish Jew
