Let me tell you about a place I know
Where American kids and the Irish go
You can hear the jigs and reels up and down the street
Where New York City and Ireland meet
Let's all get together 'round a quarter to ten
Raise the first pint to Hibernia
The bands there playing all the favourite songs
We'll be dancing and singing tunesIt's the perfect mix of the old and new
Something there for me, something there for you
When north meets south and east meets west
Where the five boroughs meet the four provinces
Tell me about your neighbourhood
No other place could ever be this good
I hope that my message is crystal clear
Don't need to look around, we have it all right here
So meet me on McLean tonight
Here the bars stay open 'til the broad daylight
The whiskey is smooth and the beer is cold
And the streets are paved green, white, and gold
So meet me on McLean tonight
All the pretty girls make me feel alright
We'll all stay out 'til 5 a.m.
A little reckless in and out, then we'll do it again
Cork to Kerry, then there's Clare
Every county's represented there
Galway, Limerick, and Mayo
Armagh, Tyrone, and Sligo
There's Dublin, Belfast, and Donegal
This yonder street has got 'em all
To our friends in Woodlawn and Broadway too
To the boys in the Bronx, this Bud's for you
I never could have dreamt of a better place
I wish the music is as sweet as the Guinness tastes
Some were born right here and others far away
We're all here now to see a better day
We're the sons and daughters of Eireann's Isle
With the strong Celtic roots, he's gonna stay awhile
So come on out and have a pint or two
And take the fall train to the avenue
And meet me on McLean tonight
Here the bars stay open 'til the broad daylight
The whiskey is smooth and the beer is cold
And the streets are paved green, white, and gold
So meet me on McLean tonight
All the pretty girls make me feel alright
We'll all stay out 'til 5 a.m.
A little reckless in and out, then we'll do it again
So meet me on McLean tonight
Here the bars stay open 'til the broad daylight
The whiskey is smooth and the beer is cold
And the streets are paved green, white, and gold
So meet me on McLean tonight
All the pretty girls make me feel alright
We'll all stay out 'til 5 a.m.
A little reckless in and out, then we'll do it again
Then we'll do it again
So meet me on McLean tonight
All you pretty girls make me feel alright
