Song Lyrics:

[My uncle has been visiting us from Ireland for the last few weeks, and I'll tell you, he has been absolutely bothered by something that he's seen on our American television and radio. He's very upset about one thing in particular, and he wrote a little bit of a song about it...and ladies and gentlemen, I thought I'd share it with you guys tonight] I've just come to America from the Emerald Isle From the lovely land of Ireland, to visit for a while I heard on the radio a commercial for some beer The drink that makes me think of home, and the pub I love so dear The ad on the radio mentioned the name "MacKenzie" From Cork or County Mayo, it's a wonderful family He had the nickname "Spuds" like so many Irish boys Who have found eating potatoes a source of Gaelic joy I had Spuds pictured as a rugged red-haired lad But then with shock and anger, I saw the TV ad Well, Spuds is not an Irishman, but a stupid ugly hound They're knocking the Irish people with that reject from the pound They've taken an Irish drink, an Irish name, an Irish food And they've linked them with that horrible mutt with the slimy attitude It's gotten to the point where watching TV is hard I'm afraid I'll see an ad confusing St. Patrick with St. Bernard And if it's true what people say, that Spuds is now a star Then there's a celebrity look-alike doing his business in my yard!
