Here is a Rhyme for St Patrick's Day

 Tune – ‘Oh my darling Clementine’

Lá 'le Pádraig, Lá 'le Pádraig,   St. Patrick's Day, St Patrick's Day,

Lá 'le Pádraig Hip Hurrae!   St. Patrick's Day, Hip, Hurray!

Bí ag seinm, Bí ag máirseáil, Let's play music, let's march,

Lá 'le Pádraig Hip Hurrae!  St. Patrick's Day, Hip, Hurray!

An Hócaí Pócaí Pócaí – The Hokey Pokey

Cuir do dhá lámh isteach Put two hands in,

Is do dhá lámh amach. Two hands out,

Do dhá lámh isteach Put two hands in  

Is amach, isteach, amach. Out, in, out.

Déan an Hócaí Pócaí Do the hokey pokey

Agus cas, cas thart, And turn around,

Sin mar a dhéantar é. That’s how it’s done.

Ó! Hócaí Pócaí Pócaí, Oh! hokey pokey pokey,

Ó! Hócaí Pócaí Pócaí, Oh! hokey pokey pokey,

Ó! Hócaí Pócaí Pócaí, Oh! hokey pokey pokey,

Sin mar a dhéantar é. That’s how it’s done.

Cuir do dhá lámh suas Put two hands up,

Is do dhá lámh síos. Put two hands down,

Do dhá lámh suas Put two hands up,

Agus síos is suas arís. Down and up again.

Déan an Hócaí Pócaí Do the hokey pokey

Agus cas, cas thart, And turn around,

Sin mar a dhéantar é. That’s how it’s done.

Ó! Hócaí Pócaí Pócaí, Oh! hokey pokey pokey,

Ó! Hócaí Pócaí Pócaí, Oh! hokey pokey pokey,

Ó! Hócaí Pócaí Pócaí, Oh! hokey pokey pokey,

Sin mar a dhéantar é. That’s how it’s done.
