The Saw Doctors Lyrics
"Macnas Parade"

The streets were black with people
'Twas the finest day so far
All watching for the creatures
On their way to Noah's arc

She came hoppin' she came dancin'
Near the head of the parade
Twirling an umbrella
And singing about the rain

I saw her in the Macnas Parade
Singin' and dancen' as the drummers played
Hoppin' and skippin' sure
She made my day

I saw her in the
Macnas Parade
All the gang were rushing
To board at Claddagh basin

There were preachers preaching
Please repent
and even snails were racin'
God watched it from above

A hand shaped cloud
descended from the sky
Nothing that I saw was
More pleasing to my eye

I saw her in the Macnas
I saw her in the Warick
The first Friday last week
I tried to ask her dancin'

But I could hardly speak
I wonder what they'll think up
For the big parade next year
I'll tell you wan thing

That's for sure
I'll be a volunteer
