Ireland captain Paul O’Connell
He stood out tall
Beyond the rest
With a shiny head
And a hairy chest
A rugged man
The women swooned
The men did too
He was well groomed
A Munster man
Decked out in red
He always put our fears to bed
108 caps and Ireland’s Call
O’Connell you were fearless
Till the final fall
You led us to victory
Time and time again
A legend, a warrior
A hero amongst men
Victory against France
Je suis désolé
That another game in the green jersey
You will never play
Thanks for the memories
The glory days and fun
Rest easy pal
You’ve had a good run
Dairne Black
FIGHT!
