Paddy is a mighty Man
Fear Mochta, A Mighty Man,
With his archive of songs and airs
He keeps us all a singing

Paddy is a mighty Man
Fear Mochta, A Mighty Man,
With Jigs and reels and polkas
He keeps us all a playing

Paddy is a mighty Man
Fear Mochta, A Mighty Man,
(He) plays a mean banjo at break-neck speed
Sure we can't keep up at all

Paddy is a mighty Man
Fear Mochta, A Mighty Man,
Taking photos of events
Where would ye be without him?

Beside every great man stands a great woman
Bean mhochta, a great woman
She plays the bodhran to his banjo
Bridie's poetry inspires us

Fear mochta is ea Paidí
Fear mochta, fear mochta
An archivist, computer whiz
Gan dabht, we'd be lost without him

Push for Porter is His Baby,
His Baby, his Brilliant Baby
Push for Porter is his Baby
Where would we be without it?

Paddy is a Mighty Man,
Fear Mochta, a Mighty Man,
And now my song is at an End
Let's raise our glasses to him!
