Saint Patrick's day
for the shamrock
make way
For the green
white and gold
and the harp
bright and old
With the great
marching bands
playing songs
of Ireland
And the bright
Irish eyes singing
out to the skys
For the Irish have
seen there'll be
pride in the green
From Boston New York
in Dublin and in Cork
For Saint Patrick's day
is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say hip hooray
for Saint Patrick's day
In New York they'll be
marching the greatest
to be seen
Pipers they'll be
piping the orange
white and green
The Irish will
remember
and dance the
world around
In London and in
Glasgow and down in
Melbourne Town
Oh girls and boys
from Dublin sing out
those Irish songs
Rebels all from
Donegal sing Ireland's
rights and wrongs
In Boston and Chicago
we dance the
jigs and reels
And sing the songs
of Ireland and of
it's four green fields
Saint Patrick's day
for the shamrock
make way
For the green
white and gold
and the harp
bright and old
With the great
marching bands
playing songs
of Ireland
And the bright
Irish eyes singing
out to the skys
For the Irish have
seen there'll be
pride in the green
From Boston New York
in Dublin and in Cork
For Saint Patrick's day
is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say hip hooray
for Saint Patrick's day
Saint Patrick was
a gentleman who
came to Ireland's sod
He banished all the
serpents away
from Irish bogs
Some people say
the divil was on
Killarney shore
So he never went
to Kerry or so
the story goes
He travelled all
through Ulster
through Connaught
and the West
And he went to
royal Tara and the
king himself
he blessed
To all the friends
of Ireland who live
the world around
Who want to
share the day
with us a welcome's
to be found
Saint Patrick's day
for the shamrock
make way
For the green
white and gold
and the harp
bright and old
With the great
marching bands
playing songs
of Ireland
And the bright
Irish eyes singing
out to the skys
For the Irish have
seen there'll be
pride in the green
From Boston New York
in Dublin and in Cork
For Saint Patrick's day
is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say hip hooray
for Saint Patrick's day
So lets say hip hooray
for Saint Patrick's day
