When I ran over an Irish duck
While holding a clover

In the ache that is our core,
May we see each our hearts belonging,
When it knocks on our front door.

Propelling from sickness held
All Nature carries
Guarding Irish traditions
We take this color lightly

When seamen splashed an aviator

And she won the purse
For being the best back-biter!
