The Grass Is Much Greener Down Under These Days

The Grass Is Much Greener Down Under These Days

By Paul McCann

The water in Waterford is bottled in Cork ,
and sold as Poteen in Australian and New York .
Now the Whiskey from Wexford and porter from Down ,
keeps all the heads around Sydney spinning around .

Drinking on St Patricks day after closing time
then the dancing in the streets makes everything fine .
You’ll hear Blarney from Killarney as rich as gold ,
and spinning yarns about things that’s never been told .

The grass is getting greener now here in this land

and there’s gold dust at Bondi mixed in with the sand ,

If you don’t believe me , have a look for yourself

You’d have to agree we’re better off for the wealth,

There’s no lack of Craic and better smoke in your pipe

and the old folk love riding their scooters at night .

I love how the grass here gets greener everyday

And the lawn mowing men keep taking it away .

Sure as long as its growing underneath our feet,

There’s nothing to worry about and life is sweet.
