Turning MUSIC Into MEDICINE -- Frog & Feather Music: Songs

Today I'm Gonna Be Irish

(copyright 2003, C. Gagnon / S. Volkmann)
Song theme -- St. Patrick's Day

Chorus:
Oh, today I’m gonna be Irish
Irish through and through
Though me Mam she’s Italian
Me Da he is too.

Oh, today I’m gonna be Irish
Irish through and through
For today is St. Patrick’s Day
And you can be Irish too.

Now I don’t have a single drop of Irish blood in me
No I don’t have Erin lineage or a Celtic legacy
But on this day once a year,
I have a need to drink dark beer,
Eat corned beef and cabbage too,
Sing Danny Boy ‘til I turn blue.

Chorus:
Repeat

Today’s the day for singing and wearin’ of the green,
Chattin’ with the Wee Folk, while sippin’ on potcheen
I’ll go ahead eat soda bread,
Let leprechauns dance in my head,
If I could only make one wish,
I’d wish every day could be like this.

Chorus:
Repeat

Ending:
Now I don’t have a single drop of Irish blood in me
No I don’t have Erin lineage or a Celtic legacy.

But today I’m gonna be Irish
Irish through and through
For today is St. Patrick’s Day

Yes, today is St. Patrick’s Day
Oh, today is St. Patrick’s Day
And you can be Irish too.

Oh, today is St. Patrick’s Day
And you can be Irish too!
