Subject(s): St. Patrick's Day


Oh, glory for the Imrald Isle,
St. Pathrick's Day!
We'll do things up in proper style,
Each Irishman will wear a tile,
Each Irish maid will wear a smile,
St. Pathrick's Day!

We'll form into a fine parade,
St. Pathrick's Day!
Still, nonetheless, I am afraid
At each saloon we'll be delayed,
We'll drink all things but lemonade,
St. Pathrick's Day!

Oh, praise the land that gave us birth,
St. Pathrick's Day!
But don't forget, amid the mirth
A people we of weight and worth,
We'll show the world who rules the earth,
St. Pathrick's Day!
