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 into 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 It was 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!
