paroles de chanson The Helicopter Song - The Wolfe Tones

Up like a bird and high over the city
Three men are missing I heard the warder cry
It must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of those new Ministers" said the warder from Mountjoy

Early one morning as the branchmen they were sleeping
A little helicopter flew in from the sky
Down into the yard were some prisoners were walking
"Get ready for inspection" said the warder in the 'Joy

Up like a bird and high over the city
Three men are missing I heard the warder cry
It must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of those new Ministers" said the warder from Mountjoy

Down in the yard through the pushing and the shoving
Three of the prisoners they climbed upon the bird
And up and away they went into the grey skies
"I think someone escaped" said the warder in the 'Joy

Up like a bird and high over the city
Three men are missing I heard the warder cry
It must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of those new Ministers" said the warder from Mountjoy
