Happy St. Patty's Day 2013

You've heard of General Wellington who won at Waterloo; well there's a good old Irishman I'll mention unto you. 
He hails from dear old Dublin, he's a man we all applaud--for he always finds a corkscrew far more handy than a sword. 

He's good old General Guinness, he's a soldier strong and stout--he's found on every battle( bottle?) front, for he can't be done without. 

His noble name, his worldwide fame deserve 3 hearty cheers; 'Hurrah for General Guinness of the Dublin Boozaliers!

This hale and hearty warrior is worshiped in the ranks
For he does his task inside the cask as well as in the tanks.
And he bears the brunt on every front, North south East and West
And he wears about 10 million canteen medals on his chest.

He's good old General Guinness, he has won the world's applause
For he always keeps our spirits up in the midst of all our wars. 
Who was the first to flirt with Mademoiselle from Armentiers? Why good old General Guinness, of the Dublin Boozaliers!

All over Bonny Scotland too, the General he is seen;
They've given him the frrreedom of the toon of Aberrrdeen.
Frae Inverness tae Galashiels he keeps them warm and bright
And they love tae gather roond him Och! on every moonlit night.

He's good old General Guinness, he's as good as Scottish broth;
It's he who turned the Firth of Forth into the Firth of Froth!
All Scotsmen dance the Highland Fling and shout! when he appears-
Hurrah! for General Guinness, of the Dublin Boozaliers!
