Here's to my friend
That's Michael Collins
An Irishman
I have no doubt
At the controls
He is a genius
And he likes a drink
And it's my shout
(chorus)
Here's to you
Once more round the Irish moon
The whole world
Is relying now on you
To bring the boys back home
and when you do
There'll be a drink for you
Michael Collins
As you navigate
Through the starry night
All by yourself
On the old dark side
Do not forget
Young John McGee
He could not dream
Of the things you've seen
That's Michael Collins
An Irishman
I have no doubt
At the controls
He is a genius
And he likes a drink
And it's my shout
(chorus)
Here's to you
Once more round the Irish moon
The whole world
Is relying now on you
To bring the boys back home
and when you do
There'll be a drink for you
Michael Collins
As you navigate
Through the starry night
All by yourself
On the old dark side
Do not forget
Young John McGee
He could not dream
Of the things you've seen
