A HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO ALL!
Patrick, he was made a Saint
and given a special day;
On Emerald Isle all dance and sing
with shamrocks on display;
Irish hats and Irish shoes,
whole Irish outfits, green,
Are worn this day to celebrate
upon March seventeen.
Irish maids love Irish lads
To give a serenade;
Irish music, dearly loved,
Adds fun to each parade.
Tootle the flute and play the drum
Just try the "Riverdance";
It takes a lot of expertise
Each program to enhance.
A leprechaun in the grass you found
Beneath your old pant cuff?
You're lucky enough to be Irish, man,
Which makes you lucky enough!
So do your thing on St. Pat's Day
And have a happy time.
While Irish fairies dance the jig,
In an Irish pantomime!
