[Chorus]
St. Patrick's day for the shamrock make way,
For the green, white and gold and the harp, bright and old,
With the great marching bands playing songs of Ireland,
And the bright Irish eyes singing out to the skies.

Where the Irish are seen, there'll be pride in the green,
In Boston, New York, in Dublin and in Cork,
For St. Patrick's day is Ireland's greatest day,
So let's say, "Hip, hooray!" For St. Patrick's day.

[Verse]
In New York, they'll be marching the greatest to be seen,
Pipers, there'll be piping, the orange, white and green,
The Irish will remember and dance the world around,
In London and in Glasgow and down in Melbourne Town.

Oh, girls and boys from Dublin, sing out those Irish songs,
Rebels all from Donegal, sing Ireland's rights and wrongs,
In Boston and Chicago, we'll dance to jigs and reels,
And sing the songs of Ireland and of its four green fields.

[Chorus]
St. Patrick's day for the shamrock make way,
For the green, white and gold and the harp, bright and old,
With the great marching bands playing songs of Ireland,
And the bright Irish eyes singing out to the skies.

Where the Irish are seen, there'll be pride in the green,
In Boston, New York, in Dublin and in Cork,
For St. Patrick's day is Ireland's greatest day,
So let's say, "Hip, hooray!" For St. Patrick's day.

[Verse]
St. Patrick was a gentleman, who came to Ireland's sod,
He banished all the serpents away from Irish bogs,
Some people say the devil was on Killarney's shore,
So he never went to Kerry or so the story goes.

He travelled out to Ulster, to Connaught and the West,
And he went to royal Tara and the King himself he blessed
To all the friends of Ireland, who live the world around
Who want to share the day with us a welcome's to be found

[Chorus]
St. Patrick's day for the shamrock make way,
For the green, white and gold and the harp, bright and old,
With the great marching bands playing songs of Ireland,
And the bright Irish eyes singing out to the skies.

Where the Irish are seen, there'll be pride in the green,
In Boston, New York, in Dublin and in Cork,
For St. Patrick's day is Ireland's greatest day,
So let's say, "Hip, hooray!" For St. Patrick's day,
So let's say, "Hip, hooray!" For St. Patrick's day.
