Have you ever heard of the Poxy Boggards? They're a band that does Irish drinking songs... one of their songs is in the style of an Irish Blessing (only set to a jamaican tune ... don't ask me - their only explanation is that they wrote the song completely drunk and can't remember where it came from). I love the lyrics though:

Here's to It

May you always have walls for the wind,

A roof for the rain and tea beside the fire,

Laughter to cheer you and those you love near you

And all your heart may desire

CHORUS:

Here's to a long life and a merry one

Here's to a quick death and an easy one

Here's to a pretty girl and an honest one

Here's to a cold pint, and another one.

May the sun shine all day long,

Everything go right and nothing go wrong,

May those you love bring love back to you

And may all your wishes come true.

CHORUS

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light;

May good luck follow you morning and night;

May pretty girls follow you to your door;

May you never want for more.

CHORUS

Here's to a temperance supper

Where tall clear glasses of water fill the hall

A fine party with coffee and tea

And me not there at all.

CHORUS

May you have love that never ends

Lots of money and lots of friends

Health be yours whatever you do

Lift a cup as we drink to you

CHORUS

Here's to woman's kisses

And to Irish whiskey, amber and clear

Not as sweet as the kiss of the miss

But a damn sight more sincere

CHORUS

Now I have known quite a many

And liked more than a few

But I have loved only one my dear

And this toast is to you

CHORUS
