[Verse 1]

Wickow's got its gardens, Kerry and her lakes

Galway with its salty hill and Sligo gave us Yeats

Limerick's got its lady, Kilkenny and its cats

Mayo's got Croagh Patrick, Westmeath has a bypass

[Chorus 1]

Thirty-two counties and forty shades of green

Saint Patrick plays the bodhrán, the likes you've never seen

We're all proud to be Irish, not just on March seventeenth

Sure when you're from the Emerald Isle you're forty shades of green

[Verse 2]

Antrim's Giant's Causeway, Wexford's strawberry beds

Tipperary has got is rock and Louth has Plunkett's head

Kildare she has a Curragh, Tyrone's got a folk park

Armagh's planetarium, Fermanagh's marble arch

[Chorus 2]

Thirty-two counties and forty shades of green

Saint Patrick plays the bodhrán, the likes you've never seen

We're all proud to be Irish, not just on March seventeenth

Sure when you're from the Emerald Isle you're forty shades of green

[Bridge 1 (Spoken words)]

Wahoo! Up ya boy ye

Forty shades of green

There's emerald and there's mint and there's... thirty-eight more!

Forty, I tell ya!

Forty shades of green!

And... how many counties?

Thirty... thirty-two counties!

All proud to be Irish

Every last one of us

[Verse 3]

Waterford with your crystal and Dublin's city fair

Longford with your slashers, the banner flies in Clare

Derry's got its walls and Laois has a prison

Meath and her Tara Brooch and Donegal's a-fishin'

[Chorus 3]

Thirty-two counties and forty shades of green

Saint Patrick plays the bodhrán, the likes you've never seen

We're all proud to be Irish, not just on March seventeenth

Sure when you're from the Emerald Isle you're forty shades of green

[Verse 4]

Roscommon gave us Douglas Hyde and Cork they talk Blarney

Down and its Mourne mountains, the faithful Offaly

Carlow's got its courthouse, Cavan's potholes the size of lakes

Monaghan with its grey soil and Leitrim's a mistake

[Chorus 4]

Thirty-two counties and forty shades of green

Saint Patrick plays the bodhrán, the likes you've never seen

We're all proud to be Irish, not just on March seventeenth

Sure when you're from the Emerald Isle you're forty shades of green

[Bridge 2]

Where are ya from?

Dublin

Where are ya goin'?

Kildare

Who are ya with?

Cavan

Who are ya knowin'?

[Chorus 5]

Thirty-two counties and forty shades of green

Saint Patrick plays the bodhrán, the likes you've never seen

We're all proud to be Irish, not just on March seventeenth

Sure when you're from the Emerald Isle you're forty shades of green

[Bridge 3 (Spoken words)]

Yahoo! Go on ya good thing!

Up the leprechauns

Mighty Ireland!

Put down that sliotar, Seán Óg

Aw you're a man of the bog

[Chorus 6]

Thirty-two counties and forty shades of green

Saint Patrick plays the bodhrán, the likes you've never seen

We're all proud to be Irish, not just on March seventeenth

Sure when you're from the Emerald Isle you're forty shades of green

[Outro (Spoken words)]

I thought I told ya to put down that sliotar, Seán Óg
