Well, how do you do? (Top o' the mornin' to you)
When you're strollin' down the boreen (that means the lane)
A friendly brook'll sing you this sweet refrain
Céad míle fáilte, sláinte to you
And the top o' the mornin', too (hi!)
When it's early in the Earrach (that means the Spring)
The birds are glad to see ya, here's what they sing
Céad míle fáilte, sláinte to you
And the top o' the mornin', too
Oh, it's great how they greet you in Ireland
Learn the words, so you won't have to guess
It's a toast to your health for one thing
And a hundred thousand welcomes, no less (what do you know?)
In your heart, you're feelin' shaynwa (that means okay)
And if you meet a colleen, here's what to say
Céad míle fáilte and sláinte to you
And the top o' the mornin' too
(When you're strollin' down the boreen) that means the lane
(A friendly brook'll sing you this sweet refrain)
Céad míle fáilte, sláinte to you
And the top o' the mornin', too
(When it's early in the Earrach) that means the Spring
(The birds are glad to see ya, here's what they sing)
Céad míle fáilte, sláinte to you
And the top o' the mornin', too
Oh, it's great how they greet you in Ireland
Learn the words, so you won't have to guess
It's a toast to your health for one thing
And a hundred thousand welcomes, no less (how do you do?)
(Well, faith and begorrah!)
(It's glad I am to see you!)
In your heart you're feelin' shaynwa, that means okay
And if you meet a colleen, here's what to say
Céad míle fáilte and sláinte to you
And the top o' the mornin' (the very tip-top o' the mornin')
The top o' the mornin' to you
H-H-How do you do?
