There's Irish In Our Eyes

Jack O'Leary (Courtesy Silver Sounds Music)

Sides Face, Grand Square
Too ra loo and a too ra lay, it’s in my DNA
A cup of tea since I was three I get my five a day
I might’ve left the homeland but our bond will never die
I learned my trade in Ireland...
Allemande and Weave the Ring
Oh, there’s Irish in America, there’s Irish in Berlin
You’ll find us down the local or even in the gym
We’ll speak in foreign accents wearing multicolored ties
No way you’re running from the fact there’s Irish in our eyes

I’ve seen the Eiffel Tower and I’ve climbed the Empire State
Spent some time in London, but it never was the same
There’s plenty others like me, reminiscent of the times
I’m making lots of money but...

Four Ladies Promenade one time around
Back home Swing with your man
Join hands Circle to the Left around I sing
Left Allemande and Weave that old Ring
[Remainder same as opener]

Heads (Sides) Square Thru four hands you do
All the way then, now Right and Left Thru
Veer Left and now the Couples Circulate
When you’re there the Ladies Chain Down the Line that way
Star Thru, Pass Thru, Trade By (clap your hands)
Swing that Corner, and Promenade the land
We’ll speak in foreign accents wearing multicolored ties
No way you’re running from the fact there’s Irish in our eyes

No way you’re running from the fact there’s Irish in our eyes
