Irish Green

I’m going to talk a little Irish
And what it is an Irishman seeks today
If it is to search for that pot of gold
I thought I’d help a little along the way.

First find yourself that lucky Shamrock
And it’ll find you a Leprechaun
And while the Leprechaun is leading you
I’ll hold your wallet while you’re gone.

And if you still can’t find him
Cheer up and raise a glass or 3 of green
In no time the little guys will surround you
And that’s not all that you’ll be seeing.

But now I do have some further advice
So please follow every other word I say
Remember to raise, with me, another glass
On this fine St. Patrick’s Day!
