A
man walked up to a little old lady rocking in a chair on
her porch.
"I couldn't help noticing how happy you look,"
he said. "What's your secret for a long happy life?"
"I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day," she
said. "I also do a gramme of charlie a day, a spliff
every night, a case of whiskey a week, eat junk food, and
never exercise, and do pills on the weekend."
"That's amazing," said the man, "how old
are you?"
Yup. Barack Obama, 44th President of the good old
USA is as Irish as Bono. His great-great-grandfather came from Moneygall
in County Offaly.
To celebrate, we present the song 'There's No One as Irish as Barack Obama',
sung by Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys. It became an instant big hit on
YouTube, getting nearly 400,000 views in the first two weeks.
The band have been invited to Washington DC by Irish American Democrats
to perform at Obama's inauguration party on 19th of Janurary 2009. Go
Irish!
So get practising! To help you out, here's the words
of the song:
