[VERSE] Here it is, Saint Patrick’s Day The man who led the snakes away Off to a boat down at the bay And sent them to Australia [VERSE] The air was filled with cheering sweet The Irish now could have bare feet Old Saint Pat had surely beat The snakes sent to Australia [CHORUS] Celebrate with roaring thunder That our vipers are down under Don’t you bet the Aussies wonder Who sent the snakes their way [INSTRUMENTAL FILL, FIDDLE and DRUMS] [VERSE] Now in the land of kangaroos Everyone must wear thick shoes And check inside their didgery-doos For snakes sent to Australia [VERSE] They’ll kill you without thinking twice And leave your body cold as ice Not like Ireland, where it’s nice Our snakes are in Australia! [CHORUS] Celebrate with roaring thunder That our vipers are down under Don’t you bet the Aussies wonder Who sent the snakes their way Celebrate with roaring thunder That our vipers are down under Don’t you bet the Aussies wonder Who sent the snakes their way [OUTRO] Who sent the snakes their way [INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO]
