32 Counties

[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
