    Don’t forget you’re Irish

    With your mortgage through the ceiling
    In negativity equity
    With banking gone all pear shaped
    And ditto property
    Your stocks and shares have tumbled
    Your politicians a disgrace
    Your wife is drinking porter
    And you’re in a desperate place
    Don’t forget you’re Irish
    And sing ‘twill do, ‘twill do.

    When your neighbour
    Buys a telly, of quality HD
    And his daughter becomes a doctor
    With a mighty fine degree
    When jealousy n’ begrudgery
    Overcome you totally too
    Don’t forget you’re Irish
    And sing ‘twill do, ‘twill do.

    When taxes they are climbing
    And your dole is cut in half
    And your best friend steals your Mrs
    And they run off for a laugh
    When you’ve lost your shirt
    On horses
    And your car’s* a zero-two
    Don’t forget you’re Irish
    And sing ‘twill do, ‘twill do.

    When your teanga’s undervalued
    And the kids say “Tá sé fear”
    And copious translations
    Continue much to jar
    When an Béarla usurps Gaeilge
    And cows only in English “moo”
    Don’t forget you’re Irish
    And sing ‘twill do, ‘twill do.


    Saint Peter’s on his day off
    And you’re at the pearly gates
    And St. Patrick checks the records
    For your eternal fate
    Don’t forget He’s Irish
    By a little more than half
    As he sneaks you* in the back door
    Just give a little laugh
    And sing ye both in harmony
    Without much more ado
    (sung)
    Don’t forget you’re Irish
    And sing ‘twill do, ‘twill do.
