Almost Irish

Verse I thought it would be real neat I thought it would be real cool If I picked up my dad's guitar And learned me some Irish tunes I'd play them for a couple friends At some little Polish bar A little "Whiskey In The Jar" I never thought it'd go so far So why would you want to bring me down Cause I'm not from Ireland, I'm from Allentown Verse I learned something from an Irish girl She came to our second show That when an Irish girl has something to say She's gonna let you know She said she wasn't very fond She turned her volume up to ten I didn't fly across the Altantic Ocean To hear "A Nation Once Again" But it's a song we had to play Or else the owner wouldn't pay 'Cause I'm almost, I'm almost Irish And I hope almost, is good enough for you And I'm mostly, I'm mostly Irish OK mostly I'm American it's true Maybe the little bit of Irish in me Could be the little bit of Irish in you Verse I'll admit to you my biggest fear That guy from Belfast will show up here Hey what's that flying through the air Oh, It's his glass of beer So Irish kids don't like these song So why do Americans keep em going strong You think this trad stuff really bores It's not my fault that you like The Corrs So I'm not a native Irish man I never really said I am I've got soft teeth and I don't tan So won't you give me something man 'Cause I'm almost, I'm almost Irish And I hope almost, is good enough for you And I'm mostly, I'm mostly Irish OK mostly I'm American it's true Maybe the little bit of Irish in me Could be the little bit of Irish in you And real blood pudding makes me sick And Colin Farrell is a marginal actor, at best I finally found a place where I belong So let me sing the Unicorn...Song 'Cause we`re almost, we´re almost Irish And I hope almost, is good enough for you And we´re mostly, we´re mostly Irish OK mostly we´re American it's true Maybe the little bit of Irish in me Could be the little bit of Irish in you
