It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair!
The sidewalks of New York are thick with blarney
For shure you'd think New York was Old Kilarney!
It's a great day for the Shamrock, for the flags in full array
We're feeling so inspirish, shure because for all the Irish
It's a great, great day!



It's a great day for the Irish, it's a great day for fair!

Begosh, there's not a cop to stop a raiding

Begorra all the cops are out parading!

It's a great day for the Shamrock, for the flags in full aray

And as we go a swinging, ev'ry Irish heart is singing

It's a great, great day!
