about
This is The Speks' original song for Saint Patrick's Day. It is about dancing, singing and playing music at the Saint Patrick's Day street parade on Glasses Island.
The song is based on a section of the traditional Irish figure dance called the High Caul Cap. For the song's finale we play a traditional Irish reel called Captain Kelly's.
We had great fun composing and recording this song...as always sing along and sing LOUD!

Lyrics to St. Patrick's Day by The Speks -
Verse 1
Celebrate
St. Patrick's Day
By dancing in the street parade
Groove this way:
Roley poley one
Roley poley two
Twirl around and clap
Stamp the right
Stamp the left
Clap
Raise your hands and shout HOORAY!
Dance to the music on Patrick's Day
Verse 2
Our festival
Draws a crowd
Where everybody sings along
Sing out loud:
Roley poley one
Roley poley two
Twirl around and clap
Stamp the right
Stamp the left
Clap
Raise your hands and shout HOORAY!
Sing lots of songs on St. Patrick's Day
Break/Bridge
Sometimes it's raining on Saint Patrick's Day
BUT WE DON'T CARE! We'll have fun anyway, YAY!
Verse 3
Bang a drum
All afternoon
While timber flutes and accordions
Play this tune:
Roley poley one
Roley poley two
Twirl around and clap
Stamp the right
Stamp the left
Clap
Raise your hands and shout HOORAY!
Play lots of music on Patrick's Day
