Irish Celebration |
I’m an Irishman |
Leather weathered Irish skin |
Beard orange as the sunset over the flag |
In the night sky we fly it in |
Pride for the life we fight to live |
History, I write with it |
Spit it with the dialect |
And this is a celebration of course |
The green, white, orange |
And when they pulled up on that shore |
First generation born |
Toast to those that made it on a boat to New York |
And when the English came the colonizer came |
They filled up bottles of gasoline, turned 'em into balls of flame |
And hurled 'em to protect what’s ours |
Don’t touch these lucky charms |
Whole bunch of Irish screaming «Fuck the London Guard» |
I’m kidding not dissin' London, this bloody war |
But go against the Irish and get a bloody jaw |
Preaching nonviolence but reminds of the scars |
And the bias, put a pint up everybody sing a song |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
And live tonight 'cause you can’t take it with ya |
So raise a pint for the people that aren’t with us |
And live tonight 'cause you can’t take it with ya |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
And live tonight 'cause you can’t take it with ya |
So raise a pint for the people that aren’t with us |
And live tonight 'cause you can’t take it with ya |
From New England to New Brunswick |
Galway to Dublin |
A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers |
Heart, blue collared workers and family |
My heritage, proud to be a Haggerty |
Now with whiskey in our veins |
Claiming were the bravest men |
I drank Old Crow, but pretended it was Jameson |
Dad sipped Guiness, I sipped Old English |
'Til he sat me down at 16 and said «boy, this is what a beer is» |
I put down the drink, couldn’t drink like a gentleman |
That doesn’t mean I can’t make a drinking song for the rest of 'em |
Challenge us in football, yeah we might lose |
But don’t put us next to a bar stool |
We take the history, script it in song |
Light the torch then you pass it on |
That’s right I said, lineage through the rhythm we script it from the palm |
And we give til' Ireland is on |
Bottoms Up |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
And live tonight 'cause you can’t take it with ya |
So raise a pint for the people that aren’t with us |
And live tonight 'cause you can’t take it with ya |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
And live tonight 'cause you can’t take it with ya |
So raise a pint for the people that aren’t with us |
And live tonight 'cause you can’t take it with ya |
