about

The St. Patrick's Day anthem you've been waiting for; equal parts informative about St. Patrick AND snake digestion!

Mostly true, except when it is false.

...and here's a blog.

lyrics

Granddad was a priest and my father a deacon,
I was kidnapped by raiders when I was 16
6 years a slave in Gaelic Ireland
I worked as a shepherd was there I found God
So I rode to the sea on a big emerald serpent
with a shamrock in hand to teach the trinity
I unleashed the snake and the fury of satan
and the pagans they wept as he swallowed them whole
Well the snake feasted well as he gnashed at the pagans
his jaw it unhinged and his glands did adapt
They spent 7 long years in his digestive system
as the snake he lay dormant digesting his prey
Snake finished digestin, he excreted a rainbow
shone the light of the holy from the tip of his tail
And the gold from his belly lined the pockets of angels
and the leprechauns fairies and the protestants too (key change)
And that is the story of old mother ireland
and why we are dancing in fields of green
and that is the story of your old friend st patrick
and why we act like d-bags and drink colored beer
but be wary my mason the snake is still near
