On St Patrick's Day

On St Patrick's Day in Koroit it is twenty six degrees
And white butterflies seemingly dancing in the coastal breeze
In the mostly  sunny blue sky just a few clouds of gray
For early Autumn and March quite a warm sunny day
Different to the St Patrick's Day in Ireland i knew in the long ago
In weather cold, wet and windy since time has become my foe
A day of celebration in every Irish town
On the streets the pipe bands led the celebratory floats up and down
In Australia on St Patrick's Day in the towns no parade
But in the pubs an old Irish tradition is not allowed to fade
The patrons enjoy the Irish music, song and cheer
And celebrate the occasion on drinking green beer
And enjoy the evening of music and song
In the Town in the countryside of the Peek Wurrong.
