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
