Green With Envy

​

I met her at a bar and she was pretty

Wishin' on a star in Galway city

At least I'm in the game a lass, a love, a laddie

She's callin' out a name, only my name isn't Paddy

​

I'm not about to get no shamrock or shillelagh

I still like a Guinness and a shot of Bailey's

Something's really troublin', I guess I never knew her

She wants to be in Dublin, but it's Dalton Road and Bloor

​

She broke my heart and oh my head

Won't somebody mend me

I'm all blue and I'm seeing red, cause my baby

She's green with envy

​

The wine didn't work or suit her panics

She's dreamin' over Cork but drinkin' in the Annex

I gotta make a choice so I bought her lots of presents

She was takin' in The Peasants

​

That's the final straw, this camel's back is broken

I'm serious this time, but I'm probably only joking

I know where you've been, go have the Irish fellas

Be weary of the green, and have the Irish fellas
