Chorus

We Irish love to sing

We Irish love to dance

We Irish love to party

Whener' we get the chance

We have a lot of troubles

But we have a lot of soul

We'll drink a pint of Guiness

 And forget about our woes

Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best

Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best

We love our myths and stories

We love a mournful song

We love our joyful music

And a good old sing-a-long

We love our pennywhistle

Uilleann pipes and air bodhrán

We Irish love our football

 Our heros and our homes

Repeat Chorus

We Irish love St. Patty

We got a pub on every corner

We love to celebrate

And a church to worship in

And nothing suits us better than

We party hard then pray the Lord

An all-out green parade

Forgive us of our sins

Green beer and hats and jackets

We rid ourselves of grief and guilt

Green dresses, shirts and ties

Relieve our troubled hearts

And nothing could be brighter

I know God loves the Irish

 Than the light in Irish eyes

And accepts us as we are

Repeat Chorus

Ei-ee-ei, ei-ee-ei, we Irish are the best
