The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It’s nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home
The door is always open
The neighbours pay a call
And Father John before he’s gone
Will bless the house and all
How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I’m handing you no blarney
The likes you’ve never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
There was cousin O’Flaherty
Uncle O’Shaunessy
Michael me brother and Auntie McGee
And Father and Mother were all in a dither
When Terence the baby crawled under the tree
It’s nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home
Twas Paddy Delahatty who dressed up like Santy
And gave out the presents like he always does
But Johnny McGee, when he sat on his knee
Tried to pull off his whiskers to see who it was
The door is always open
The neighbours pay a call
And Father John, before he’s gone
Will bless the house and all
How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I’m handing you no blarney
The likes you’ve never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I’m handing you no blarney
The likes you’ve never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
