It's A Great Day For The Irish

It's A Great Day For The Irish - The Hit Crew

Oh, I woke me up this morning

and I heard a joyful song

From the throats of happy Irishmen,

a hundred thousand strong

Shure it was the Hibernian Brigade

Lining up for to start the big parade

So I fetched me Sunday bonnet and the flag I love so well

And I bought meself a shamrock just to wear in me lapel

Don't you know that today's March seventeen?

It's the day for the wearing of the green

It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair

The streets of New York are thick with Blarney

For shure you'd think New York was Old Killarney

It's a great day for the Shamrock, for the flags in full array

We're feeling so inspirish, shure because for all the Irish

It's a great, great day

There's not a cop to stop a raiding

Begorrah all the cops are out parading

It's a great day for the Shamrock, for the flags in full array

For shure Barry think cause every Irish

It's a great, great day
