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 Happily 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

I kept the faith

And made his escape

When he was twenty-two

And made it back to Britain

'Twas the only home 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, eat all

Eat join along

On this St. Paddy's Day!

The story of St. Patrick's Day

It started a long time ago

The lyrics of this song

It will tell you

Everything you need to know

The seventeenth of March

It's when this joyous party

It is celebrated with joy

With colorful parades

Dee Dee Dai Lai Dee

Dai Dai Dee Dee

Dee Dee Dai Lai Dai

Hummm ... Hummm ...

Patrick was only sixteen when

The pirates captured him

He was sold into slavery

And he took him to Ireland

He kept faith

And he escaped

When he was twenty-two

And he did it back to Britain

-It was the only home he knew

Patrick had a vision

To go back to Ireland

And he promised to teach Christianity

Until the final bitter

The legend says that Patricio used

The clover to explain

That the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit

They are all the same.

On this day the Irish dress

In many shades of green

And some feel lucky

With the elves that have seen

Their music and fun for everyone

We will have a party and we will play

Come one, come all

Come and join during

Saint Patrick's Day.
