I woke up today with the Irish blues

[Cirque du So-What]

(sung to the tune of The Irish Washerwoman)

I woke up this morning and got out of bed
My face was all ruddy, my hair was all red
I looked in the mirror and thought I was dead
I woke up today with the Irish Blues

I'm a grown man and just like my daddy
I like to go out on the Feast of St. Paddy
and take on the ways of the much younger laddie
I woke up today with the Irish Blues

My brother's a priest and my sister's a nun
And my wife is against any measure of fun
So I go out myself and I get the job done
I woke up today with the Irish Blues

I get up early 'cause mass is at 7
and there I find Seamus and Michael and Kevin
We're all trying to get our sad souls into heaven
I woke up today with the Irish Blues

1. Could be a hangover.

[lunatica]

2. Leave it to the Irish to romanticize hangovers!

And then think of that being sung with an Irish accent and it's perfect!

3. Try vomiting up the greens and you'll feel better in a few hours.

That green beer is absolute poison, I'm certain of it.
