Gilbert O`sullivan The Luck Of The Irish Lyrics

The Luck Of The Irish Lyrics

One and one and two are three

 If you adhere to Irish logic

 That's just one of the many jokes of which

 the Irish are the topic

 You can talk about the luck of but in

 truth there's not a lot

 

 So we have this reputation of being

 as thick two short planks

 And although George Bernard Shaw was Irish he's an Englishman No we don't live
in houses that are otherwise known as bars Yes we do have other transport
besides donkeys and carts Go to Dublin day or night And see for yourself
there's not a bog in sight

 

 In America the joke about the irishman would die There for some peculiar
season it's the polish they decry Bet in sweden it's norwegians and in norway
it's the danes And it's a fallacy to think that irish people drink the most
when in njoy germany alone their beer consumption unapproached As for britian
far from being sober they would enjoy thier drink But to call an enghlishman a
drunk would be an awful thing What you need todo for that is a chap named pat
and the luck of the irish Kiss the blarney stone but get down on your back to
do it Okay on the surface I admit it does seem rather stupid But you mustn't
judge a book by all accounts But by what's underneath it's Cover up your
daughters what they don't see they won't miss Remember contraception is despair
but ignorance is bliss The church will tell you what you should and what you
shouldn't do is argue with it Shergar's body been exhumed by irish terrorists
today If the ransom isn't paid out then his life may not be saved No we don't
live in houses that a

 re otherwise known as bars Yes we do have other transport besides donkeys and
carts Go to Dublin day or night And see for yourself there's not a bog in sight
The luck of the irsh

 

 Kiss the blarney stone but get down on your back to do it Okay on the surface
I admit it does seem rather stupid But you mustn't judge a book by all accounts
But by what's underneath it's Cover up your daughters what they don't see they
won't miss Remember contraception is despair but ignorance is bliss The church
will tell you what you should and what you shouldn't do is argue with it
