Saint Patrick Song

The story of St Patrick's Day

Began so long ago

The lyrics in this song

Will tell you

All you need to know

The seventeenth of March

Is when this joyous holiday

Is celebrated happily

With colorful parades

Dee Lai Dee Dai Dee

Dai Dee Dai Dee

Lai Dee Dai Dee Dai

Hummm...Hummm...

Patrick was only sixteen when

The pirates captured him

They sold him to slavery

And took him to Ireland

He kept the faith

And made his escape

When he was twenty-two

And made it back to Britain

'Twas the only home he knew

Patrick had a vision

To return to Ireland

And vowed to teach Christianity

Until the bitter end

Legend says that Patrick used

The shamrock to explain

That the Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Are all and one the same

On this day the Irish dress

In many shades of green

And some are feeling lucky

With the leprechauns they've seen

It's music and fun for everyone

We'll party and we'll play

Come one, come all

Come join along

On this St. Paddy's Day!
