Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m a decent boy just landed
\nFrom the town of Ballyfad
\nI want a situation, yes
\nAnd want it very bad
\nI have seen employment advertised
\n“It’s just the thing” says I
\n“But the dirty spalpeen ended with
\n‘No Irish Need Apply’ “<\/p>\n

“Whoa,” says I, “that’s an insult
\nBut to get the place I’ll try”
\nSo I went to see the blackguard
\nWith his “No Irish Need Apply”
\nSome do count it a misfortune
\nTo be christened Pat or Dan
\nBut to me it is an honor
\nTo be born an Irishman<\/p>\n

I started out to find the house,
\nI got it mighty soon
\nThere I found the old chap seated
\nHe was reading the Tribune
\nI told him what I came for
\nWhen he in a rage did fly
\n“No!” he says, “You are a Paddy
\nAnd no Irish need apply”<\/p>\n

Then I gets my dander rising
\nAnd I’d like to black his eye
\nTo tell an Irish gentleman
\n“No Irish Need Apply”
\nSome do count it a misfortune
\nTo be christened Pat or Dan
\nBut to me it is an honor
\nTo be born an Irishman<\/p>\n

I couldn’t stand it longer
\nSo a hold of him I took
\nAnd gave him such a welting
\nAs he’d get at Donnybrook
\nHe hollered, “Milia murther”
\nAnd to get away did try
\nAnd swore he’d never write again
\n“No Irish Need Apply”<\/p>\n

Well he made a big apology
\nI told him then goodbye
\nSaying, “When next you want a beating
\nWrite ‘No Irish Need Apply’ “
\nSome do count it a misfortune
\nTo be christened Pat or Dan
\nBut to me it is an honor
\nTo be born an Irishman<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
