I have got something to say
Welcome to St. Patrick's Day
Where on earth have you been
The date on the wall is March 17
It's a day of big celebration 
For all of the Irish nation
And the millions of us around the world 
As the tricolour is unfurled 

I'm a Celtic man proud Irish I am
I'm a Celtic guy holding my head up high
My blood flows emerald green
I'm a Celtic man proud Irish I am

I may be a London born boy
But I wear the colour green with joy
I respect my heritage with pride
Calm but with a warrior inside
I can be a writer and a fighter
Tell a tale or more and delight
Sing you a song and tell a joke or two
We Irish like to party no time to be blue

I'm a Celtic man proud Irish I am
I'm a Celtic guy holding my head up high
My blood flows emerald green
I'm a Celtic man proud Irish I am

Parading around the world we shine
Wearing our shamrock so sublime
We will raise a glass or two
And in our brogue say sláinte to you
There will be music song and dance
Join us if you get the chance
Let your hair down what do you say
You can be Irish for ever and a day

I'll meet  you in an Irish bar
We will drink whisky from a jar
Live for the moment no looking back
We will have laughter and the craic
The drinks they will flow
Mine will be a Guinness don't you know
One for the road I hear you say
Good man yourself  then I'll be on my way

I'm a Celtic man proud Irish I am
I'm a Celtic guy holding my head up high
My blood flows emerald green
I'm a Celtic man proud Irish I am
