IRVING BERLIN lyrics - It's The Little Bit Of Irish

[Verse:]

When Irish meets Irish

They will seldom disagree

There's a perfect understanding

Like a chord of harmony

They talk the same

And they walk the same

They think the same, they do

That's just why you fancy me

And I fancy you



[Refrain:]

Why do you love what I do?

It's the little bit of Irish

That's in your heart



When McCormack sings

Why do you shout with joy?

If a band should start

Playing an Irish rhythm

You'd go with 'em



Why do you speak as I do

With a little bit of brogue

From which you'll never part?



When you see a three leaf clover

Why do you smile all over?

It's the little bit of Irish in your heart



[2nd verse:]

When Irish meets Irish

Should they ever start a fight

They will leave it to a German

To decide which one is right

Lord help the Hun

The unlucky one

Who's picked out to decide

Hist'ry tells us that's just how

A thousand Huns died
