The band have reworked their multi million youtube hit Obama song to celebrate the Irish roots of Longford’s potential US VP Tim Kaine.
The song entitled ‘Our Irish VP his name is Tim Kaine’ will be released on Saturday, October 15.
Lead singer Ger Corrigan said, "We were delighted to find out that Tim's paternal great grandfather was Patrick Farrell from Killashee, county Longford and we just had to celebrate it in song."
Lyrics of ‘Our Irish VP his name is Tim Kaine’
Toor a loo toor a loo toor a loo toor a laine
An Irish VP his name is Tim Kaine
In dear old Ireland
In Killashee
The place of Tim Kaine’s
Ancestry
His people were Farrell's
Farming was their game
The Irish ancestors
Of VP Tim Kaine
Toor a loo toor a loo toor a loo toor a lee
Let's hear it for Kaine the Irish VP
On Hilary's ticket
He's her number 2
out stump old Trump
Turn the Whitehouse blue
Get out the harmonica
Let the party begin
Great days for the the Irish
Let's hear it for Tim
Toor a loo toor a loo toor a loo toor a laine
The VP is Irish his name is Tim Kaine
From Donegal
Down to Castlemaine
They'll drink a toast
To our boy Tim Kaine
From Belfast to Blarney
And down to Tralee
They'll be cheering for Tim
The Irish VP
