Oh, Danny-boy!

Obligatory St. Patrick's Day post, complete with green icon and appropriately Irish song. I didn't even realise it was St. Pat's Day yesterday until I went to the canteen and found them serving doughnuts with green icing.

Hey, I keep track of Chinese New Year, but there ain't a drop of Irish in me. Trust me on this.

Danny-man' by Jimeoin

there's a story back in ireland
the country that i'm from
about a certain danny boy
i think the story's wrong
he's been around for years and years
i think you'll understand
danny boy by now
he should be danny man...

you can hear it in an irish bar
sung by drunken men
but the only words that i can hear
are something "glen to glen"
his middle name is danny
his first name is o
his surname is boy
the song we all know...

oh danny boy
they'll always sing about you
all round the world
in every irish bar
'tis you 'tis you
that keeps my heart in ireland
oh danny boy oh danny boy
I love you so

ireland's biggest export
is their people don't you know
and the more irish they become
the further that the go
st. patrick's day parade
is bigger in new york
'cause everybody's irish
'cause their mother comes from cork

the start the day by marchin'
but they end up in a bar
as everybody knows
the irish love a jar
the crack is mighty
and the room is filled with joy
but there's never any value
when they start singin' danny boy...

oh danny boy
they'll always sing about you
all round the world
in every irish bar
'tis you 'tis you
that keeps my heart in ireland
oh danny boy oh danny boy
I love you so

SPECIAL STARGATE VERSE!
when you're going through the stargate
haring off in outer space,
you'll prob'ly meet an alien
from the grey asgardian race.
you'll tell him you're from ireland
and he'll begin to talk
he goes "i know it well, sure"
"me mother comes from cork"

you'll get into a spaceship
driven by the Asgard Thor
he'll take you to a bar
where the guinness flows some more
but there's never any value
there's never any joy
if you've ever heard an asgard
singing danny boy

in space, no-one can hear you scream...

oh danny boy
they'll always sing about you
all round the world
in every irish bar
'tis you 'tis you
that keeps my heart in ireland

Yes, I wrote the SG part.

And I don't even know who created this icon. I just nabbed it when Ang showed it to me!

I think I'll have to make an SG version of it...
