St. Patrick's Day
For the shamrock make way
For the green, white, and gold
And the heart bright and bold
With the great marching bands
Playing songs of Ireland
And the bright Irish eyes
Singing out to the skies
For the Irish have seen
There'll be pride in the green
In Boston, New York
In Dublin and in Cork
For St. Patrick's Day
Is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say hip-hooray
For St. Patrick's Day
In New York there'll be marching
A greatest TV scene
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
All girls and boys in Dublin
Sing out them Irish songs
Rebels all from Donegal
Sing Ireland's rights and wrongs
In Boston and Chicago
They'll dance to jigs and reels
And sing the songs of Ireland
And of its four green fields
St. Patrick's Day
For the shamrock make way
For the green, white, and gold
And the heart bright and bold
With the great marching bands
Playing songs of Ireland
And the bright Irish eyes
Singing out to the skies
For the Irish have seen
There'll be pride in the green
In Boston, New York
In Dublin and in Cork
For St. Patrick's Day
Is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say hip-hooray
For St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick was a gentleman
Who came to Ireland's side
And banished all the serpants
Away from Irish bogs
Some people say the devil
Was on Killarney shore
So he never went to Kerry
Or so the story goes
He travelled on to Ulster
To Cork and the west
And he went to royal Tara
And the king himself he blessed
To all the thieves of Ireland
Who live the world around
Who want to share the day with us
Are welcome, still be found
St. Patrick's Day
For the shamrock make way
For the green, white, and gold
And the heart bright and bold
With the great marching bands
Playing songs of Ireland
And the bright Irish eyes
Singing out to the skies
For the Irish have seen
There'll be pride in the green
In Boston, New York
In Dublin and in Cork
For St. Patrick's Day
Is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say hip-hooray
For St. Patrick's Day
So let's say hip-hooray
For St. Patrick's Day
