My name is Larry Doolan, I'm a native of the soil
If you want a day's diversion, I'll drive you out in style
My car is painted red and green, and on the door a star
And the pride of Dublin city is my Irish jaunting car

Then if you want to hire me, step into Mickey Mar's
And ask for Larry Doolan, and his Irish jaunting cars

When Queen Victoria came to Ireland her health to revive
She asked the Lord Lieutenant to take her out to ride
She replied unto his greatness, before they traveled far
How delightful was the jogging of the Irish jaunting car

Then if you want to hire me, step into Mickey Mar's
And ask for Larry Doolan, and his Irish jaunting cars

I'm hired by drunken men, teetotalers, and my friends
But a carman has so much to do, his duty never ends
Night and day both wet and dry, I travel near and far
And at night I count the earnings of my Irish jaunting car

Then if you want to hire me, step into Mickey Mar's
And ask for Larry Doolan, and his Irish jaunting cars

Some say the Russian bear is tough, and I believe it's true
Though we beat them at the Alma and Balaklava too
But if our Connaught Rangers would bring home the Russian Czar
I would drive them off to blazes in my Irish Jaunting Car

Then if you want to hire me, step into Mickey Mar's
And ask for Larry Doolan, and his Irish jaunting cars

Some say all wars are over, and I hope to God they are
For you know full well they never were good for a Jaunting Car
But peace and plenty - may they reign here both near and far
Then we'll drive to feasts and festivals in an Irish Jaunting car

Then if you want to hire me, step into Mickey Mar's
And ask for Larry Doolan, and his Irish jaunting cars

They say they are in want of men, the French and English too
And it's all about their commerce now they don't know what to do
But if they come to Ireland, our jolly sons to march
I'll drive then to the devil in my Irish jaunting car

Then if you want to hire me, step into Mickey Mar's
And ask for Larry Doolan, and his Irish jaunting cars

Then if you want to hire me, step into Mickey Mar's
And ask for Larry Doolan, and his Irish jaunting cars
