Shay Connolly – Kellie, Queen of the Working Class
She grew up down by Sheriff Street before they tore it down
Played around in all the flats, she’s our Kelly Harrington
Wo-ah-ohhh
She’s our girl
Hakuna Matata
She’s the Pride of IrelandAll the way from Portland Row to the Gold in Tokyo
Slugged it out with all the best this girl put on a show
Kellie Harrington is her name as everyone will know
All the way from Portland Row to the Gold in TokyoWhen she was young she could hear the roar from Croke Parks mighty stands
But little did she know then she’d be queen of Ireland
Wo-ah-ohhh
She’s our girl
Hakuna Matata
She’s the Pride of IrelandThis warrior lass showed all her class and showered us with inspiration
She gave us hope through all the mess she’s the pride of our nation
Wo-ah-ohhh
She’s our girl
Hakuna Matata
She’s the Pride of IrelandFrom orthodox to southpaw it doesn’t matter which
In a classy fight or in a brawl, she can make the switch
Wo-ah-ohhh
She’s our girl
Hakuna Matata
She’s the Pride of IrelandKellie has shown us all the way she is a super lass
She shown us we can rise above she’s the Queen Of The Working Class
Wo-ah-ohhh
She’s our girl
Hakuna Matata
She’s the Pride of Ireland
Tuesday: The Kellie Gang
Even as the concept of National Pride is made illegal by Globalist Neo-Liberalism (aka American Capitalism), many will enjoy Kellie’s victory.
Personally, I enjoyed the technical nature of her win, she’s a Boxer, not a Fighter.
These lyrics are better than some of the doggerel presented to listeners on the Radio 1 Talk to Joe show recently. Kellie’s Olympic gold has raised the spirits of her Dublin 1 inner city community. People can hold their heads high, enjoy the national mood, and quietly carry on with normal living.
