Yet another earworm. I first heard this in the mid-70s. No idea who wrote it.
Warning: it deals with political terrorists and karma.
(To the tune of "Danny Boy")
Our Morris Minor's running out of petrol
The bomb is set to go at half past five
It's quarter til and we're stuck here in traffic
I fear that we'll not get out of this alive
The IRA has really blown it this time
This time I fear, we've spread ourselves too thin
And when the bobbies come to clear the wreckage
On every Ulster face you'll see a narsty grin
