The Corrigan Brothers, an Irish band that has a song called “There’s No one as Irish as Barack Obama” (!), has released a witty ditty called "Saint Patrick's Day (Everybody's Irish)."
Here's some of the lyrics:
ME GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER
SHE CAME FROM SKIBEREEN
AND I CAN SING GALWAY BAY
AND 40 SHADES OF GREEN
AND I KNOW THERE’S A LITTLE BIT
OF IRISH INSIDE ME
SURE TWICE I’VE BEEN TO RIVERDANCE
AND I BOUGHT THE DVD
IN AUSTIN AND IN BOSTON
5TH AVENUE NEW YORK
IN BEIJING AND HELSINKI
FROM BELFAST DOWN TO CORK
THE EMERALD ISLE IS OUT IN STYLE
AND IT’S FAIR ENOUGH TO SAY
OH EVERYBODY'S IRISH
ON SAINT PATRICK'S DAY
O'NEILLS OUT IN OSAKA AND IN TOKYO
THERE'S KELLYS OUT IN KENWAY
AND CLANCYS IN NORWAY
THE 40 SHADES OF GREEN ARE EVERYWHERE ON PATRICK'S DAY
PARADES OUT IN AUSTRALIA, IN CHINA AND IN SPAIN
AND TEAMS OF IRISH DANCERS STEP IT OUT AGAIN
AND OUT IN HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS THEY ALWAYS HAVE A BALL
WHEN THEY HOST THE WORLD'S SHORTEST PATRICK'S DAY PARADE OF ALL
