I thought it would be real neat
I thought it would be real cool
If I picked up my dad's guitar
And learned me some Irish tunes
I'd play them for a couple friends
At some little Polish bar
A little "Whiskey In The Jar"
I never thought it'd go so far
So why would you want to bring me down
Cause I'm not from Ireland, I'm from Allentown
Verse
'Cause I'm almost, I'm almost Irish
And I hope almost, is good enough for you
And I'm mostly, I'm mostly Irish
OK mostly I'm American it's true
Maybe the little bit of Irish in me
Could be the little bit of Irish in you
Verse
