Original track

lyrics

So you say that you’re not from Dublin or Cork, or even Ballynahinch
You’re a girl from the city, well ain’t that a pity, but you still might be part Irish
Did your mama like drinking and dancing with men, with a bit of that Irish brogue
Did he buy her a whiskey and did she get frisky and end up taking him home

So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight
So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight

You say that your daddy, he wasn’t no Patty, but girl I must disagree
Have you ever wondered how read hair and freckles wound up on your family tree
Does the sound of a jig make you tingle inside, and black pudding make you smile
Do you toast to St. Patrick and hoist up your pint as you sing of the Emerald Isle

So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight
So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight

I have a friend named Andy Kowalski, he’s as Polish as any I’ve known
But give him some Bushmills and a pint of the Beamish, you’d swear he calls Dublin his home
He’ll order some corned beef and shout for the Pogues, and might even river dance
So I’d say don’t knock it until you have tried it, so give that meat Pie a chance

So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight
So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight

Most people claim they have Irish in ‘em, and many are probably right
So no one will argue if you have one to many, and make that claim tonight
So drink with your friends, and toast to your mates, and someone will help you get home
I can always see a little of Ireland in everyone I’ve ever known

So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight
So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight
So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight
So lift up your Guinness and sing along with us, ‘cause everyone’s Irish tonight
