Oh, Paddy dear, and did you hear
The news that’s goin’ round?
They found another Irishman
In old Chicago town!
O’Bama’s just as Irish
As Daley and O’Hare
He’s one of them “Black Irish”
As come from County Clare
The leprechauns all love him
Or so I have been told
He’s bailin’ out the country
With their lovely crock of gold
We eat corned beef and cabbage
When we’re in County Cork
But at O’Bama’s White House
They’re only servin’ pork
He’s like an Irish tenor
A-singin’ “Danny Boy”
The hope and change he’s singin’
Bring Oprah tears of joy
Let’s lift a glass of Guinness
And Irish whiskey too . . .
Hawaiian-Kenyan-Irish
Is quite a pot of stew!
Oh, Paddy dear, and did you hear
The news that’s goin’ round?
They found another Irishman
In old Chicago town!
Excellent!
