Irish Celebration lyrics

(Ooh) (Hey) (Ooh) I'm an Irishman Leather, weathered Irish skin Beard, orange as the sunset over the flag And the night sky we fly it in Pride, for the life we fight to live History, I write with it Spit it with the dialect And this is a celebration, of course The green, white, orange And when they pulled-up on that shore First generation-born Toast to those that made it on a boat to New York (New York) And when the English came, the colonizer came They filled-up bottles of gasoline, turned 'em into balls of flame And hurled 'em to protect what's ours Don't touch these Lucky Charms Whole bunch of Irish screamin' Fuck the London Guard I'm kidding, not dissin' London, this bloody brawl But go against the Irish and get a bloody jaw Preaching non-violence but reminds of the scars And the bias, put a pint up, everybody, sing a song We put our glass to the sky and lift-up And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya So, raise a pint for the people that aren't with us And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya We put our glass to the sky and lift-up And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya So, raise a pint for the people that aren't with us And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya From New England to New Brunswick, Galway to Dublin A rebellious nation of freckled-face hustlers Heart, blue-collared workers and family My heritage, proud to be a Haggerty Now with whiskey in our veins, claiming we're the bravest men I drank Old Crow but pretended it was Jameson Dad sipped Guinness, I sipped Olde English Till he sat me down at sixteen and said: Boy, this is what a beer is I put down the drink, couldn't drink like a gentleman That doesn't mean I can't make a drinking song for the rest of 'em Challenge us in football, yeah, we might lose But don't put us next to a bar stool We take the history, script-it in song Light the torch, then you pass-it-on That's right, I said, lineage through the rhythm We script-it from the palm And we give till Ireland is on Bottoms-up We put our glass to the sky and lift-up And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya So, raise a pint for the people that aren't with us And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya We put our glass to the sky and lift-up And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya So, raise a pint for the people that aren't with us And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya Tonight, we're celebrating life Those are all my Irish goons in the background Put 'em up Because you know All the way from Ireland to the States From Dublin to Boston Grafton to Seattle My whole Haggerty family This one's for you, let's go And all my people say hey, all over the world Even if you are not Irish Put your glasses up Ryan Lewis, and all my people, say: That's Ireland It's beautiful, isn't it? Irish celebration And all my people say: Versus! We put our glass to the sky and lift-up And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya So, raise a pint for the people that aren't with us And live tonight, 'cause you can't take it with ya
