Guinness in hand, we start to swig
The pub is full for the shindig
Borhan is played; begins the gig
Danced Irish jig, danced Irish jig
Tonights the night St Patrick’s Day
Their patron saint it’s his feast day
Green attire worn, dancers, parades
Bank Holiday; Bank Holiday
Drowning shamrock... a sight to see
Irish coffees, laced with whiskey
You’ll ne’er a better evening see
Landmarks lit green; landmarks lit green
Still spoken proud, ancient Gaelic
Rich language sings its rhetoric
A country strong; a maverick
Fervent Celtic, fervent Celtic
Beautiful isle of emerald green
Giant’s Causeway... majestic scene
Dublin - Cellar Bar... party scene
Epic Céilí; epic Céilí
We have a "crack" and a giggle
Hypnotically, transcends fiddle
Emotions stir; lovers kindle
The night dwindles, the night dwindles
