Craic Agus Ceol - Everybody's Irish On St. Paddy's Day

We can't keep track of all of our artists. Some of them have been professional musicians all their lives, some of them are gifted amateurs that we took a chance on. The group Craic Agus Ceol is a professional group of Irish musicians that tour most of the year., so we seldom see them in our studio. They have other music studios they work with, then send us a file of the song to see if we're interested. We haven't turned them down yet, especially when they send a new song for St. Patricks' Day. 

No doubt they're kept busy by the approaching holiday, and they always try at least to be back in Ireland on the day itself. They sent an email with the file telling us about some other recordings they've done recently, so we're excited to see them when they get here! This song Everybody's Irish On St. Paddy's Day conveys what we've seen in restaurants and taverns in this country. With the diaspora of the Irish to the U.S.A. over the years, Irish ancestory has spread far and wide. And like the song says, if you don't have any Irish ancestros, you wish you would have!

 St. Patricks day is comin' up soon 

At the pub folks with different names you'll meet 

People named of Schmidt, Parelli, Skronsky 

So walk right in and grab yerself a seat 

 

Everybody's Irish on Saint Paddys day

 Head for the pub and have a drink 

Eat corned beef and cabbage, tell yarns 

There's more people Irish than ya think 

 

Durin' the potater famine many left the Green 

For so many places east and west 

But many of 'em landed in America 

Cuz they thought it would be for the best 

 

 Everybody's Irish on Saint Paddys day 

Head for the pub and have a drink 

Eat corned beef and cabbage, tell yarns 

There's more people Irish than ya think 

 

Many of 'em landed in New York 

An' didn't have a pot to piss in 

After a few years, they started spreadin 'out 

Never know where they ended up in 

 

 Everybody's Irish on Saint Paddys day 

Head for the pub and have a drink 

Eat corned beef and cabbage, tell yarns 

There's more people Irish than ya think 

 

 Pretty Irish lasses married all kinds of beaus 

With last names familiar and right queer 

As the customs dictate to the women 

They took their beaus surname right then and there

 

 Everybody's Irish on Saint Paddys day 

Head for the pub and have a drink 

Eat corned beef and cabbage, tell yarns 

There's more people Irish than ya think
