The streets were black with people twas the finest day so far All watching for the creatures On their way to Noah's arc She came hoppin' she came dancin' Near the head of the parade Twirling an umbrella And singing about the rain I saw her in the Macnas Parade Singin' and dancen' as the drummers played Hoppin' and skippin' sure She made my day I saw her in the Macnas Parade All the gang were rushing To board at claddagh basin There were preachers preaching "Please repent" and even snails were racin' god watched it from above A handshaped cloud descended from the sky Nothing that i saw was More pleasing to my eye I saw her in the Macnas ........... I saw her in the warick The first Friday last week I tried to ask her dancin' But i could hardly speak I wonder what they'll think up For the big parade next year I'll tell you wan thing That's for sure I'll be a volunteer
