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
