Lyrics[]
Lachy: One fine day after working hard
I was walking home from my Da's farmyard
With a rumble in me belly skipping one, two, three
Wondering what my ma had awaiting me
I asked me ma, "What's in that pot?"
Emma: "Ah, son"
Lachy: She said
Emma: "There's an awful lot
It's a recipe your grandma gave to me
As we danced to the song of the one, two, three
'Tis Irish stew, oh Irish stew
Just boil in the pot and it's good for you
It's filled with everything you need"
Lachy: As she danced to the song of the one, two, three
Wiggles: Oh Irish stew, oh Irish stew
Just boil in the pot and it's good for you
Not a devil of a bit that you cannot do
When you've got a belly full of Irish stew
(Whistling during instrumental break)
Lachy: The very next day that I awoke
I'd a skip in me step and a song in me throat
I said to me ma "How can this be?"
Emma: "I'll tell you son with a one, two, three
It's the boiling in the pot, when you mix up the lot,
That gives you the strength that you have not got
Puts the goodness in your body and the dance in your shoe
And gives you all the strength for a boy like you"
Lachy: (scat singing)
Emma: Have it for your lunch and have it for your tea
You'll skip down the road singing 'diddle-ee-dee'
With a tra-la-la, skipping one, two, three
It'll keep you strong, as a boy should be
(Whistling during instrumental break)
Lachy: Now I thank me ma in every way
For making me the man that I am today
She fed me with that magic brew
The bubbling of the pot of the Irish stew
Wiggles: Oh Irish stew, oh Irish stew
Just boil in the pot and it's good for you
Not a devil of a bit that you cannot do
When you've got a belly full of Irish stew
