    Does anyone know where I could find the lyrics (or download) of that song that was a p*ss-take of the "we didn't start the fire" with all of the irish team listed out in the verses.

    Tried Google but to no avail

    Found it. There are a few variations of it around

    Verse 1:
    Jackie Charlton, Eoin Hand
    Johnny Giles. Ireland
    Mick McCarthy, Stephen Staunton
    Cascarino
    Tony Galvin, Niall Quinn
    Packie doesn't let em in
    North of Ireland
    South of Ireland
    Only one can go

    Verse 2:
    Paul McGrath
    Back Four
    Aldridge got another score
    World Cup
    English Clubs
    Kevin Moran and the Dubs
    European Championship
    How can we forget the trip
    Andy Townsend
    Kevin Sheedy
    Stapleton's a supersub

    Chorus:
    Were gonna start a fire
    And when Rome is burning
    there'll be no returning

    Were gonna start a fire
    We have Jack to mind us
    and the fans behind us

    Verse 3:
    Butragueno, Hungary
    We spared the Dutch in Germany
    Charlie Hurley, Liam Tuohy
    Opel Invest
    Ray Houghton, Liverpool
    Ronnie Whelan's so cool
    O'Leary in the Sunday World
    Connor's in the press

    Stuttgart was no dream
    now we have a winning team
    Billy Bingham, Budapest
    Man of Magic, Georgie Best
    Eamon Dunphy writes it down
    Dalymount to Landsdowne
    English Football in a mess
    Trouble on the Terraces

    Chorus:
    Were gonna start a fire
    And when Rome is burning
    there'll be no returning

    Were gonna start a fire
    We have Jack to mind us
    and the fans behind us

    Verse4:
    Dasaev, Socrates,
    Maradona, Ardiles,
    Puskas, Bessonov,
    Rene Ver Der Kerkof,
    Hamilton, Jim Magee,
    Saint And Greavsie on TV,
    Maradona Hand of God
    Brady should be in the Squad

    Chris Morris, score draw
    Don Givens, Denis Law,
    Eusebio Jr, Ronnie Whelan Senior
    Pele #10
    We'll never see his like again
    Gorbache is Mean
    Champions, Argentina

    Chorus:
    Were gonna start a fire
    And when Rome is burning
    there'll be no returning

    Were gonna start a fire
    We have Jack to mind us
    and the fans behind us

    Verse5:
    Netherlands, Egypt
    England got a free trip
    Pleaded, Seeded
    Because of the supporters
    Ruud Gullit might be out
    Holland wouldn't have a shout
    Hoddle and Waddle
    Have they got the bottle
    We have England in the draw
    And the Dutch like before
    One thing that were grateful for
    We didnt get the Mafia

    Chorus:
    Were gonna start a fire?And when Rome is burning
    there'll be no returning

    Were gonna start a fire
    We have Jack to mind us
    and the fans behind us

    Verse6:
    Seeded in Sicily
    Off the coast of Italy
    6 hours boat trip
    We can take the hardship
    But the fans couldnt care
    They can travel anywhere
    No one else can match the sound
    Our supporters bring around
    June 11, English Game
    We can do the trick again
    Egypt next and then the Dutch
    Its the second round for us
    When we finally get to Rome
    No one will be left at home
    Aldridge is about to score
    Listen to the Irish Roar

    Chorus:
    Were gonna start a fire
    And when Rome is burning
    there'll be no returning

    Were gonna start a fire
    We have Jack to mind us
    and the fans behind us
