about
A song about how Green And Beautiful the island of Ireland is, with a magical legendary plot involving a Leprechaun, a wild French Rover and a Pot of Gold.

PPS: Believe me I know what I'm talking about!
lyrics
One, Two, Three!
I slept in me car to make a journey
Like a bloody rover
To go and visit my Celtic brothers
I had to cross the sea
So many landscapes wait to be seen
Like the Cliffs of Moher
Whose beauty amazed me instantly
This country is magic, I mean literally
I met a leprechaun at the end of a rainbow
So I give him a pint and then he became my bro
I raise a glass to the people of Ireland
I drink it to their mysterious island
The emerald isle is like a wild garden
It even reminds of old Eden
Cause it's green and green and green and green
It's green and green and green
Green and Beautiful
The lakes, the mountains, and the abbey
Wild Connemara, took my breath away
There I became friends with a sheep
I know it sounds a little crazy
D’ya know (Do you know)
I crossed these cute animals
Through my whole trip
So it was meant to be
It's time to suit up in green
Cause it's Paddy's day.
I’ll watch the parade
And dance the divil away
I raise a glass to the people of Ireland
I’ll drink it to their mysterious island
The emerald isle is like a wild garden
It even reminds of old Eden
Cause it's green and green and green and green
It's green and green and green
Green and Beautiful
I drove to Wexford, Cork, to Galway,
Belfast, to Dublin,
To the Giant's Causeway
I bought far too many drinks for too many ladies
In the end I spent all me money
Cause the petrol, the beers and the whiskey weren't free
I’d to steal the pot of gold from my buddy
I’d lose my besty but kept a pretty penny
So... I ran with the gold!
I had to go back home so I took the ferry
To escape that Leprechaun, in all his fury
But I’ll never forget, Daniel O'Connell's country
“So how was it, How was Ireland?”
Well it's green and green and green and green
It's green and green and green
green and beautiful
Yes it's green and green and green and green
It's green and green and green
Green and beautiful
Green and beautiful
Green and beautiful
