"Just Because I'm Irish" lyrics
Just because I'm Irish, he thinks that I should know
Every Irish bar in Manhattan
He who was born by Galway Bay
Where they socialize more than we do here in the U.S.A
Just because I'm Irish, which he says he should have know
By my name Sweeney, an Irish that I am
Doesn't mean I know each Irish bar, so smoky and so dark
I'm more likely to be seen in Central Park
Just because I'm Irish, he thinks that I should know
Every Irish bar north of SoHo
Just because he comes from County Clare or County Cork
Where they socialize more than we do in rush-around New York
Just because I'm Irish, which he thinks he was supposed to know
By something Irish in the way I smile
Doesn't mean I know each Irish bar here in Midtown New York
I'm more likely to be seen in Central Park
She's more likely to be seen in Central Park
Every Irish bar in Manhattan
He who was born by Galway Bay
Where they socialize more than we do here in the U.S.A
Just because I'm Irish, which he says he should have know
By my name Sweeney, an Irish that I am
Doesn't mean I know each Irish bar, so smoky and so dark
I'm more likely to be seen in Central Park
Just because I'm Irish, he thinks that I should know
Every Irish bar north of SoHo
Just because he comes from County Clare or County Cork
Where they socialize more than we do in rush-around New York
Just because I'm Irish, which he thinks he was supposed to know
By something Irish in the way I smile
Doesn't mean I know each Irish bar here in Midtown New York
I'm more likely to be seen in Central Park
She's more likely to be seen in Central Park
