Forty Shades Of Green Lyrics

My people come from Ireland
The folks are mighty proud
They say being an Irishman
There's a lot shout about
We're braggin' on the Emerald Isle
Like that's colour that's all our own
If we thought about it a little while
Surely we'd have known

There are forty shades of green
Forty shades of green
Well the Irish one may be the one you've seen
But there're forty shades of green

There's green grass in Africa
Verdant are the German hills
How 'bout the colour Uncle Sam
Put on them dollar bills?
And the kiwi fruit in New Zealand is as
Green as it could be
And there's a slice of the Italian flag
That don't look like pizza to me

There are forty shades of green
Forty shades of green
Well the Irish one may be the one you've seen
But there're forty shades of green There's nothing wrong with Irish pride
Nothing wrong with English pride
Nothing wrong with selfsatisfied
But how about: I'm on your side, I'm on your side

I been to Holland, England, France and Sweet Ontario
Still haven't been to Ireland
But if they'll have, I'll sure go
Well I've seen the green around this world
And everywhere we had a ball
Just goes to show it must be so, that
The same guy made us all

There are forty shades of green
Forty shades of green
Well the Irish one may be the one you've seen
But there're forty shades of green

Blue kinda green, brown kinda green, yellow kinda green
Short kinda green, tall kinda green, narrow kinda green
Wavy kinda green, curly kinda green, kinky kinda green
