Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We're continuing
with our Irish themes today - mostly because I'm still in the mood.
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awkioQ8bkVI - When Irish Eyes Are Smiling - Bing Crosby
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIsduCQ7ByE - When Irish Eyes Are Smiling - Dennis Morgan - from Tear Gas Squad (1940)
BONUS #3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCrEXLUKvSs - When Irish Eyes Are Smiling - Celtic Woman (Méav)
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Irish_Eyes_Are_Smiling:
| "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" is a lighthearted song in
tribute to Ireland.
Its lyrics were written by
Chauncey Olcott and
George Graff,
Jr., set to music composed by
Ernest Ball, for
Olcott's production of
The Isle O' Dreams, and Olcott sang the song in the show. It was
first published in 1912, at a time when songs in tribute to a
romanticized Ireland were very numerous and popular both in Britain and
the United States. During the First World War the famous tenor
John McCormack recorded the song. The song continued to be a familiar standard for generations. Decades later it was used as the opening song on the radio show Duffy's Tavern. The song has been recorded on over 200 singles and albums and by many famous singers, including Bing Crosby, Connie Francis, and Roger Whittaker.[1] |

FINALLY:
| From
www.ajokeaday.com
- 03/17/14:
Having arrived at the edge of the river, the fisherman soon realized he
had forgotten to bring any bait. Just then he happened to see a little
snake passing by who had caught a worm. The fisherman snatched up the
snake and robbed him of his worm. Feeling sorry for the little snake
with no lunch, he snatched him up again and poured a little beer down
his throat. Then he went about his fishing. |

Words by Chauncey Olcott (21 July 1858 – 18 Mar 1932) and George Graff, Jr. (05 Aug 1886 - 24 Jan 1973), 1912

When Irish eyes
are smiling
Sure it's like a morning spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
There's a tear in your eye, and I'm wondering why,
For it never should be there at all.
With such power in your smile, sure a stone you'd beguile,
So there's never a teardrop should fall.
When your sweet lilting laughter's like some fairy song,
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be,
You should laugh all the while and all other times smile,
And now smile a smile for me.
Chorus:
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure it's like a morning spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
