[Verse 1]
Kelly O'Connell call Hayden MaCleary
Shaughnessy Murphy, Maguire O'Shea
Now these I relates are me best Irish mates
Well hurray for the Irish it's St. Patrick's Day

[Verse 2]
Now green is the color it grows all around us
Forests of evergreen emerald jade
And three is the number of leaves on the flower
The shamrock's a symbol that never will fade

[Chorus]
A great day for the Irish they say
Anyone can be Irish today
They say it's okay

[Verse 3]
Now Germans, Australians, Norwegians, Italians
Who could dеny they all have their own way
But if it's green that thеy wear they be brothers of Eire
For all of the Irish on St. Patrick's Day

[Instrumental Solo]

[Chorus]
A great day for the Irish they say
Anyone can be Irish today
Ay, that they may
[Verse 1]
Kelly O'Connell call Hayden MaCleary
Shaughnessy Murphy, Maguire O'Shea
These I relates are me best Irish mates
Well hurray for the Irish it's St. Patrick's Day
It's fun to be Irish today
Yes, it's St. Patrick's Day
