Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
Claire O
Copyright: 1999
written for Claire the waitress at Foster's in Ellicottville
Oh Claire
is that the devil in your hair
I watch you bounding up the stairs
in Foster's army you're a troop
Claire
to Skip and Sis you're like a daughter
just don't forget to bring my water
and why's your finger in my soup?
Oh Claire,
you do the work of 40 men
reciting specials and desserts
for you it's all in your day's work
Oh Claire.
Where'd you get your Irish brogue?
'Cause everyone here knows...
that you come from Buffalo
Claire,
Is that Italian, French or ranch?
You know you took quite a chance
teaching McCarthy how to dance
Claire,
Is there a meanstreak in your heart?
you gave my face a healthy whallop
but clever you you left no mark
Oh Claire,
You have the strenght of 40 men
my ear's been ringing long since then
a sound resembling Big Ben
and Claire.
Where'd you get your Irish brogue?
'Cause everyone here knows...
that you come from Buffalo
