  • Hey hoo
    Hey hoo

    (Hey) I know you're missing home
    It's been so long since you've been
    And that life you had in Dublin
    Now ain't nothing but a dream
    To be right there in the moment
    You'd give anything to be

    It's alright
    'Cause tonight
    We're gonna paint the town green

    Your friends are on the phone there
    It's so close to Paddy's Day
    And it kills you not to be there
    But life got in the way
    If I have to break the bank
    Spend every penny on your dreams

    It's alright
    'Cause tonight
    We're gonna paint the town green

    Just like home
    Let's color the streets like our own
    Let's make this place feel like our own
    If it's just you and me

    It's alright
    'Cause tonight
    We're gonna paint the town green (Hoo)

    Hey hoo
    Hey hoo
    Hey hoo

    (Hey) And we travel on the subway
    Like it was the Luas line
    Chase the Hudson to the Liffey
    Where we kissed for the first time
    Turn the city into Dublin
    Yeah, wherever we may be

    It's alright
    'Cause tonight
    We're gonna paint the town green

    Just like home
    Let's color the streets like our own
    Let's make this place feel like our own
    If it's just you and me,

    It's alright
    'Cause tonight
    We're gonna paint the town green (Hoo)

    Hey hoo
    Hey hoo
    Hey hoo

    Hey ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh

    Hey ooh
    Ooh
    Ooh

    Just like home
    Let's color the streets like our own
    Let's make this place feel like our own
    If it's just you and me,

    It's alright
    'Cause tonight
    We're gonna paint the town green (Hoo)

    (Hey hoo) Paint the town green
    Hey hoo
    (Hey hoo) Paint the town green
    Hey hoo
    Hey hoo
    Hey hoo
    Hey hoo
