Yeah your Papa knows what your Mama will never understand How far a young girl will go for the love of a London man Hey little Irish girl, nothing can stop you now Hey little Irish girl, nothing can stop you now Can you feel the night flowing through your bones? With your high-flying kite and your sticks and stones Will you save me a place at the head of your table? In your leather and lace and your burgundy sable Hey little Irish girl, nothing can stop you now Hey little Irish girl, nothing can stop you now Doing all Heaven will allow You'll make it through somehow There's sunlight behind the clouds Yeah little Irish girl Little Irish girl When the servants mutiny and the crowned king cries Will you come under scrutiny in their unforgiving eyes? When there's no keeper of the flame and the lights have gone out Will you shoulder all the blame beyond a shadow of a doubt? Hey little Irish girl, nothing can stop you now Hey little Irish girl, nothing can stop you now Hey little Irish girl, nothing can stop you now
