lyrics

I love you Linda Lucy Karen Anne Martha Jane,
Mary Ellen Kathy Trisha Jacky Susan May.
Now boys don't be jealous, it really is a strain.
It's hard loving a girl with the world's longest name!

I took her to the pictures and said two tickets please,
And then I went and asked what movie she'd like to see.
But that usher heard me call and when I went to pay,
He gave me fourteen tickets and very little change.

She won't allow no pet names, it's all her names or none,
Her folks are from the mountain and that's how things are done.
I will not love another girl, it really is a shame.
It's hard loving a girl with the world's longest name.

One time out on the highway she was doin' ninety five,
A policeman pulled her over and there by the roadside,
He said "It's too much paperwork for me to make an arrest"
'Cause her driver's licence reads like the Gettysburg address.

I dare not call her across a room for every girl will come.
The smallest thing that I require only strikes me dumb.
I wish she were a city girl I'd like her just the same,
Oh it's hard loving a girl with the world's longest name.

Some folks think I'm Mormon, others think I'm strange,
No I just love a girl with the world's longest name.

The Dublin City Rounders Dublin, Ireland

If The Dublin City Rounders were a dog it would be a pink bulldog with a cowboy hat, a studded leather collar and sporting a sleeveless denim jacket.

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
