    Chorus
    We are the boys of Kickham's town,
    No matter where you roam
    In every Gaelic football field
    It's all "Up Mullinahone".
    II
    For the county testimonial they beat the Coolagh team
    And the Coolagh captain was knocked out by the famous "Submarine"
    And when they met the Commons they showed some splendid play
    Some thousands of spectators were on the field that day.
    When they march into the field by their captain they were led
    And their splendid dress was shining 'twas the green above the red.
