“Shamrock and Roll”
(An Irish Rock & Roll Birthday Song)
(Verse 1)
Well, it’s your big day, the 17th of March,
The pints are poured, the party’s in charge!
You're dancing a jig, you're singing a tune,
With a leprechaun grin under the full moon!
(Pre-Chorus)
Put on your green, don’t be a fool,
Or you’ll get a pinch—yeah, that’s the rule!
The shamrock’s lucky, it’s watching you,
Bringing gold, good cheer, and a shot or two!
(Chorus)
Shamrock and roll, let the whiskey flow,
Raise your glass, let’s lose control!
Stomp your feet, hear the bagpipes play,
It’s an Irish birthday, shout ‘Hooray’!
(Verse 2)
No matter your age, young heart or old,
You’ve got the luck, you’ve struck the gold!
Born with a rainbow shining bright,
Every day’s a party, every night’s a fight!
(Pre-Chorus)
So wear your green, don’t play it cool,
Or you’ll feel the pinch—yeah, that’s the rule!
The shamrock winks, the fiddles cry,
Let’s dance ‘til dawn, under moonlit skies!
(Chorus)
Shamrock and roll, let the whiskey flow,
Raise your glass, let’s lose control!
Stomp your feet, hear the bagpipes play,
It’s an Irish birthday, shout ‘Hooray’!
(Bridge – with a playful breakdown)
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes are screamin’!
The fiddler's wild, the crowd is dreamin’!
We’ll dance a reel, we’ll tell a tale,
And hope we wake up outside the jail!
(Chorus – big finish!)
Shamrock and roll, let the whiskey flow,
Raise your glass, let’s lose control!
Sing it loud, dance all night,
It’s a St. Paddy’s birthday—what a sight!
(Outro – fading chant & laughter)
Shamrock and roll! (Hey!)
Shamrock and roll! (Oi!)
Sing it loud, sing it proud, Irish spirit never grows old!
