Everyones Irish Today and This Is My Irish Song

Well it’s March 17th the best day of the year
For the wearing of the green and the drinking of green beer
For eating corn beef and cabbage until you can’t have another bite
And drinking of course that goes on all night

So dance away your stress and send it along
It’s real easy, so just relax and sing along
The drunker you get the better the sound of the song
So have another beer or a shot it’s not ever wrong
Have a double you’re Irish now down it and be strong
Everyone’s Irish today and this is my Irish song

Were all brothers and sisters it doesn’t matter what color you are
So grab hold of me and buy me a drink at the bar
It doesn’t matter the kind of whiskey the young stuff or the old
Once I’ve had enough shots Ill be looking for me pot of gold

So dance away your stress and send it along
It’s real easy, so just relax and sing along
The drunker you get the better the sound of the song
So have another beer or a shot it’s not ever wrong
Have a double you’re Irish now down it and be strong
Everyone’s Irish today and this is my Irish song

So kiss me I’m Irish cause I come from good stock
And maybe you’ll get lucky and I’ll show you my shamrock
Let’s have a cigar or maybe a cig
Give me another drink and I’ll show off my Irish jig

So dance away your stress and send it along
It’s real easy, so just relax and sing along
The drunker you get the better the sound of the song
So have another beer or a shot it’s not ever wrong
Have a double you’re Irish now down it and be strong
Everyone’s Irish today and this is my Irish song

It doesn’t matter where you’re from north, south, east or west
Have another drink it will put hair on your chest
Maybe if your good I’ll take you home to meet ma
And if you don’t know any Irish just say Erin Go Bragh

Happy St. Patricks Day!

I'm not Irish Kevin but sure wish I were reading this poem. I can almost hear the music, smell the smoke and feel a cold glass in my hand; now all I have to do is find a man to dance with. How bout it? :) Love, Lizzie
