Sung to a Die Dee, Die Dee, Die Dee, Die Dee melody

Green Beer

The 'Unofficial' Saint Patrick's Day Theme Song
(Lyrics by Jerome A. Holst, © 1995)

(Verse)	Once upon in Ireland St. Patrick raised his arms And cleared the Emerald Isle Of Pagan snakes & charms Now once a year in the month of March The day of seventeen We gladly raise a glass to him And drink a beer of green.
(Chorus)	Oooooooh! Green beer, green beer So bubbly as it pours Oooooooh! Green beer, green beer The crowd cries out for more Oooooooh! Green beer, green beer Come chase the blues away Oooooooh! Green beer, green beer On old St. Patty's Day
(Verse)	Down in New York City They put on a grand parade Where everyone's an Irishman If only for the day The streets are filled with sham-a-rocks, Shillelaghies and colleens And down at Duffy's Bar and Grill You can hear them scream
	Repeat Chorus
(Verse)	Now you may wonder how green beer Got its fancy hue Well once upon in Ireland A leprechaun needed to Relieve himself and so he pissed Into a nearby stream That just by chance was passing by The local brewery...(magically delicious!)
	Repeat Chorus
