Its Great To Be Irish

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 .
