[A] [G]
[D] [A] [D] How weird it is to be as mixed up [A] as you have ever seen
[G] Him father he was [E] orange and me mother [D] she was green Piggy in!
Oh my father was an Ulster [A] man, bright, modest and clumsy
[G] My mother [D] was a candy girl [Em] from [D] town to corner of the sea
They [Bm] were married into churches, [Em] they was happily [A] getting on
[G] Until the day [D] that I was born [A] and thinking [D] I'd rather rot
How weird it is to be as mixed up [A] as you have ever seen
Him [D] father he was orange and me mother she was green
Upright my father, really, I [A] was rushed away by cotter
[G] To be made a [D] little honey [Em] and my [A] father [D] chosen's daughter
[Bm] I was christened David Anthony [Em] but still in spite [A] of that
To [G] my father I [D] was William, while [A] me mother [D] called me Pat
Oh it is the biggest mixed [A] up as you have ever [G] seen
Him father [D] he was orange and me mother she was green
Take it boy!
With mother every Sunday [A] to mass I proudly stole A nice!
Then [D] after the Orange Lad you [A] try [D] to save my soul Uh [Bm] oh!
For both sides have seen [Em] me but I was smart because Ha [G] ha!
I played the [D] flute or played the [Em] harp [A] depending [D] where I was Lovely!
Oh it is the biggest mixed up [A] as you have ever seen
[G] Him father he [D] was orange and [Em] me mother [D] she was green Shorty!
When I sing them rebel songs that [A] steal them mother's joy
[G] Big father, [D] when your mother [Em] say look [D] here William the boy
[Bm] Enough of that lot, [Em] honey, they'll pop me [A] a coin
Honey, have [D] me six, [Em] orange, bullet for the girls [D] of the boy
Oh it is the biggest mixed up as [A] you have ever seen
[G] Big father [D] he was orange [Em] and me [D] mother she was green
[E] One day me man from [B] Aysheds came round to visit me Uh oh!
[A] As my [E] father's kids put their [B] options down [E] to tea
[C#m] We tried to smooth things [F#m] over, but they all began to fight Ha!
[A]
And me being [E] strictly neutral I packed [B] everyone [E] in sight
Oh it is the biggest mixed up [B] as you have ever seen
[A] Big father he [F#] was orange and me mother she [E] was green
My parents never could [B] agree about my time of school
[A] My learning [E] was all done at [F#m] home, that's [B] why I'm [E] such a fool
[C#m] Me both passed on but rest still, [F#m] none of them picked up [B] between
[A] Dad off from cover [E] for a lump of [B] the orange
[E] Oh it is the biggest mixed [B] up as you have ever seen
[A] Big father [E] he was orange [B] and me mother [E] she was green
Yes it is the biggest mixed up [B] as you have ever seen
Big father he was orange and me mother she [E] was green Woo!
Well done boys!
