It’s Great To be Irish
By Paul McCann and Ted Rooney
It’s great to be Irish sitting in the bar ,
drinking pints of Guinness from a big glass jar .
Telling lots of stories and singing lots of songs,
all about past glories and all about past wrongs .
But when the drink wears of you
And you’re sitting on your own
Saying what the hell am I doing here
ten thousand miles from home.
Your mind begins to wander
to days that are long gone past
when you walked the streets of Dublin
Derry, Cork and round Belfast.
It’s great to be Irish sitting in the bar ,
drinking pints of Guinness from a big glass jar .
Telling lots of stories and singing lots of songs,
all about past glories and all about past wrongs .
So farewell to Australia and likewise Sydney Town,
I’m going half way round the world
To where I’ll settle down
back there in my homeland
please don’t frown for me
back home in Ireland , where I’m so happy .
It’s great to be Irish sitting in the bar ,
drinking pints of Guinness from a big glass jar .
Telling lots of stories and singing lots of songs,
all about past glories and all about past wrongs .
When I’m back in Belfast , sipping on a jar
I’ll be thinking of you there sitting in some Irish bar
Telling the same old stories and singing the same old songs
All about past glories and all about past wrongs .
It’s great to be Irish sitting in the bar ,
drinking pints of Guinness from a big glass jar .
Telling lots of stories and singing lots of songs,
all about past glories and all about past wrongs .
