Here’s to your roof, may it be well thatched.
And here’s to all under it — May they be well matched.
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life’s passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
There are good ships,
and there are wood ships,
the ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships are friendships,
and may they always be.
I drink to your health when I’m with you,
I drink to your health when I’m alone.
I drink to your health so often,
I’m starting to worry about my own.
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
