Today is the day fer the wearin' o' the green. 
Today is the day when the little people are seen. 
Today is St. Patrick's Day, so if ye'r Irish me lad, 
Join the celebratin' fer the grandest time ta' be had.

Ya' put yer hand up in the air, the other hand on your hip. 
Ya' tap yer toe, ya' tap yer heel, ya' bounce yer knee a wee bit. 
Ya' prance 'n dance around the room, n' circle one two three. 
The saints be praised, I must admit, ya' all look Irish ta' me.

Its a great day to be...
IRISH...HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

IRISH PRAYER

MAY THOSE THAT LOVE US, LOVE US
AND THOSE THAT DON'T, MAY GOD TURN THEIR HEARTS.
AND IF HE
DOES NOT TURN THEIR HEARTS, MAY HE TURN THEIR ANKLES,
SO THAT WE MAY KNOW THEM, BY THEIR LIMPIN'

MAY YOU DIE IN BED AT 105,
SHOT BY A JEALOUS SPOUSE
LET'S DRINK TO YOUR COFFIN.
MAY IT BE MADE FROM
100 YEAR OLD OAK,
FROM A TREE THAT I'LL PLANT SOMETIME NEXT YEAR

HERE'S TO
DAISIES, ROSES AND LILIES IN BLOOM,
YOU IN MY ARMS AND I IN YOUR ROOM,
A DOOR THAT IS LOCKED,
A KEY THAT IS LOST,
A BIRD, AND A BOTTLE, AND
A BED BADLY TOSSED,
AND A NIGHT THAT IS 50 YEARS LONG.

HERE'S TO
TURKEY WHEN YOUR HUNGRY,
BEER WHEN YOU'RE DRY,
A GREAT LOVER WHEN YOU NEED ONE, AND HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE.
LET'S DRINK TO ETERNITY.
MAY WE SPEND IT IN GOOD COMPANY
AS THIS NIGHT FINDS US.

********************************
If your Irish or want to be Irish on one day a year:

You may not be sure there is a God, but are damn sure of the Pope's infallibility,

You are very good at weekends, but are allergic to Mondays,

You have great respect for the truth and often use it in emergencies,

You are irrational in important things and a tower of strength in the trivial,

You see things not as they are but as they never will be,

You can argue either side of a question, often at the same time,

You believe in everything you can't see, and nothing you can,

You believe in Leprechauns and Banshees and consider anyone who doesn't to be a heathen,

You will never play professional basketball,

You swear very well,

At least one of your cousins holds political office,

You think you sing very well,

You have no idea how to make a long story short,

You are very good at playing a lot of very bad golf,

There isn't a huge difference between losing your temper and killing someone,

You spent a good portion of your childhood kneeling,

You're strangely poetic after a few beers,

You're, therefore, poetic a lot,

You will be punched for no good reason...a lot,

Some punches directed at you are legacies from past generations,

Your sister will punch you because your brother punched her,

Many of your sisters are Catherine, Elizabeth or Mary....and one is Mary Catherine Elizabeth,

You don't know the words, but that doesn't stop you from singing,

You can't wait for the other guy to stop talking so you can start talking,

"Irish Stew" is the euphemism for "boiled leftovers from the fridge",

There wasn't a huge difference between your last wake and your last keg party,

You are, or know someone, named "Murph" - If you don't know Murph, when you know Mac, if you don't know Murph or Mac, then you know Sully, and you'll probably also know Sully McMurphy,

You take the pledge not to drink at age 12, and every two years thereafter,

You won't eat meat on Friday but will have a beer for breakfast,

You believe that God is Irish, or at the very least catholic,

You consider anyone who disagrees with you to be hopelessly stubborn,

You are banking very heavily that God has a sense of humor.

And last but not least... Being Irish means...your attention span is so short that---oh, forget it!

Slainte,
