GREEN ALL OVER  

Bless me Shamrocks, today ain't my day,
I'm green all over and what can I say?
I wanted to get in the Paddy Spirit today
So I went to da' Wal Mart and I bought me some spray
To go with me green derby, and go with me green
       pants,
I sprayed me face real good, me arms and me hands
'Twas then I noticed the blasted small print on
        the can,
"This will not wash off,don't get it on your hands!"
We'll blimey, I'm now in a terrible Green mess,
Through life as a Green'un I'll hafta' go, I guess.
Appropriately dressed for one day o' the year.
I've gone overboard, for St. Patricks,I fear.
Yes, I'm green all over, and with Envy it ain't,
Or maybe it is, Like others I'd wish ta' be,
       without this green taint!
Oh what will I do with the rest of me bloody green
       life?
Fer nobody wants me, not me dog nor me wife!
Maybe I can work for Ripley's freak show
Believe it or Not, maybe there my "Green" luck will
       grow!
So if by any chance, you should stumble 'cross me
Don't laugh and say, 'tis too earler fer a Christmas
      tree!

   :HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY 2000:
