LRC Lyrics download
[00:06.305]A Spaniard who hails from Alcala
[00:09.235]When angered would shout 'mucha mala!
[00:12.358]He tossed a grenade at a Moorish Brigade
[00:15.589]And blew all those fascists to Allah
[00:19.078]Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
[00:26.666]O the Lincoln Battalion by cracky
[00:29.698]A bunch of brave bozos though wacky
[00:32.890]They held down the line for months at a time
[00:36.068]'Gainst Franco il Duce's lackey.
[00:39.215]Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
[00:47.361]'Twas there on the plains of Brunete,
[00:50.217]'midst a hail of steel and confetti,
[00:53.128]with our planes and our bombs we would smash Franco's ranks,
[00:56.481]got sick on Italian spaghetti
[00:59.712]Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
[01:07.490]O the Lincoln boys fought at Jarama
[01:10.576]They made the fascisti cry Mama!
[01:13.544]They were holding the line for months at a time
[01:16.696]And for sport they would play with bomba
[01:19.696]Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
[01:27.681]A codger from old Albacete
[01:30.680]Took on 16 goats or a betta
[01:33.727]When asked how he felt he just hitched up his belt
[01:36.904]And said “I can't tell just as yetta”
[01:40.000]Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay

A Spaniard who hails from Alcala
When angered would shout 'mucha mala!
He tossed a grenade at a Moorish Brigade
And blew all those fascists to Allah
Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
O the Lincoln Battalion by cracky
A bunch of brave bozos though wacky
They held down the line for months at a time
'Gainst Franco il Duce's lackey.
Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
'Twas there on the plains of Brunete,
'midst a hail of steel and confetti,
with our planes and our bombs we would smash Franco's ranks,
got sick on Italian spaghetti
Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
O the Lincoln boys fought at Jarama
They made the fascisti cry Mama!
They were holding the line for months at a time
And for sport they would play with bomba
Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
A codger from old Albacete
Took on 16 goats or a betta
When asked how he felt he just hitched up his belt
And said “I can't tell just as yetta”
Yippy ai attee ai ay Yippy ai attee ai ay
