Lyrics
Chorus:
It takes an Irishman to make love
It seems to fit them just like a glove
I know you money-makers are here in New York
But all the heart breakers are over in Cork
It is not the things that they do
But how they do them fascinates you
And when it comes to kissing sure they stand alone
For years they’ve practiced on the blarney stone
And you’ll discover that the world’s great lover
Came from Ireland
