I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You |
| My first crush on an Irish girl |
| I was 10 years old |
| And her name was Elaine |
| Little red head girl |
| Well she looked like you |
| But if you were 10 |
| Which you’re clearly not |
| Not that you look old |
| But you get my- |
| I’ll just stop now |
| Okay wait cause I had a point |
| No I swear I did |
| Well, I think I did |
| Which is all my life |
| Or since I was 10 |
| I have had a yen |
| For an Irish lass |
| Because God knows why |
| Like the ancient curse of the shiksa queens |
| Do I talk too much? |
| Which is not to say |
| That I want Elaine |
| Who turned out to be |
| When I last checked in |
| A republican |
| And a parapsychologist? |
| If you’ve got a four leaf clover |
| You could make your dreams come true |
| I will be your Hebrew slave |
| Just do the things that Irish girls do |
| Talk about potato famine |
| I begin to cry on cue |
| Sing about the Emerald Isle and |
| Get your Irish eyes to smiling |
| I could be in love with someone like you |
| (Okay yeah I just said that’s… good… no it’s great) |
| I just left a relationship |
| With a lovely girl |
| Named Alissa Levine |
| She was really great |
| It was all my fault |
| I just got upset |
| Cause she slept with my brother |
| So I made a vow not get caught up |
| In the dating scene |
| Or the whole routine |
| With the cousin’s friend |
| Or the who knows what |
| Like I need that shit |
| I’ve got marks to make |
| I’ve got steps to climb |
| It’s the perfect time |
| I’ve got books to write |
| I’ve got things to do |
| I go out door and bump into you |
| And the jig is up and my vow is through |
| I don’t know what I’m doing |
| But come in and ruin me |
| I will write my own Ulysses |
| If you’re there to show me how |
| Take me back to Glocca Morra |
| Bathe me in the river Shannon now |
| If you’ll be Misses O’Leary |
| Baby I will be your cow! |
| I’ll deliver shamrocks daily |
| Buy your Pa a new shillelagh |
| I could be in love with someone like |
| You could be my inspiration |
| And get me past this block |
| And walk me through the great unknown |
| You could be my true salvation |
| Unchain me from this rock |
| And keep me from being alone |
| Cause I’m no good at being alone |
| Take me to another level |
| Let me play in bigger halls |
| I will do a riverdance |
| As long as you keep answering my calls |
| Get me out of my apartment |
| Keep me from my empty walls |
| Someone hire John McCormick |
| Start to wearing of the green |
| Let me win the Irish sweepstakes |
| Let me take you home Kathleen |
| I could be in love with someone |
| I could be in love with someone |
| I could be in love with |
| Someone |
| Like you |
