Just Because I'm Irish Lyrics & Chords By Jonathan Richman

Just because i'm irish he thinks that i should know...
Every irish bar in manhattan.
He who was born by galway bay
Where they socialize more than we do here in the usa.
Just because i'm irish which he says he should have know...
By my name sweeney, and irish that i am.
Doesn't mean i know each irish bar
So mokey and so dark.
I'm more likely to be seen in central park.
Now julia. have you ever been to leary's pub down on 14th street and broadway?
Um, no, no.
You haven't. have you ever been to reagan's then, it's down on 8th street?
Uh, no i haven't.
Then in east village we have douly's. have you been there?
No, i'm sorry i...
How long have you lived in new york anyway then julia?
Just because i'm irish he thinks that i should know...
Every irish bar north of soho.
Just because he comes from county clare or county cork
Where they socialize more than we do in rush around new york.
Just because i'm irish, which he thinks he's supposed to know...
By something irish in the way i smile.
Doesn't mean i know each irish bar
Here in midtown new york.
I'm more likely to be seen in central park.
She's more likely to be seen in central park.
