It's a Great Day for the Irish

It's a Great Day for the Irish - The Irish Wanderers

Oh I woke me up this morning

And I heard a joyful song

From the throats of happy Irishmen

A hundred thousand strong

Sure it was be the Hibernian Brigade

Lining up for to start the big parade

So I fetched me Sunday bonnet

And me flag I love so well

And I bought myself a shamrock

Just to wear in me lapelle

Don't you know that today's March 17

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 sidewalks of New York are thick with blarney

For sure you'd think New York was old Killarney

It's a great day for the shamrock

For the flag's in full array

We're feeling so inspirish

Sure because of all the Irish

It's a great great day

It's a Great Day for the Irish

It's a great day for fair

Be gosh there's not a cop to stop the raiding

Be gord or all the cops are off parading

It's a great day for the shamrock

For the flags in full array

We're feeling so inspirish

Sure because of all the Irish

It's a great great day
