First Place Toast 2009
By Dawson

'Tis Irishfest in LaCrosse, dear friends,
Where the Guiness tasted great
And the fun never ends!
It's time for some fun and some laughter,
So let's raise our glass to the rafter!
But don't over do, I'm tellin' ya true,
'Cause there's always that damn'd mornin' after!

'Tis Irishfest in LaCrosse, dear friends,
Where the Guiness tasted great
And the fun never ends!
There's a harp tent that's just over yonder,
To go and enjoy you should ponder!
The music is great; the talent is fine,
And it's 'harpy hour', all the time!

'Tis Irishfest in LaCrosse, dear friends,
Where the Guiness tasted great
And the fun never ends!
So have great fun day and night long,
As you celebrate with Irish dance and song.
Get your Irish up, but slam a Guiness down!
It's Irishfest, time to paint the town!

'Tis Irishfest in LaCrosse, dear friends,
Where the Guiness tasted great
And the fun never ends!
To the Oktoberfest 'Fossel'master and frau,
'Tis no time for your "Ein Prosit" now!
If a polka you'd give us, I'd have to just stop you in the middle,
"cause it an Irish Jig we be needin', with flute, harp and fiddle!

'Tis Irishfest in LaCrosse, dear friends,
Where the Guiness tasted great
And the fun never ends!
I'm sure you be wondering what' under my kilt,
And I'd love to share it, but woul have too much guilt!
And if I still dared to, they'd show me the door!
'Cause I'm the 'Commando-Commodore"!!

'Tis Irishfest in LaCrosse, dear friends,
Where the Guiness tasted great
And the fun never ends!
May the sound of Irish music,
And the lilt of Irish laughter,
Fill you hearts with joy and gladness,
That stays forever after!

'Tis Irishfest in LaCrosse, dear friends,
Where the Guiness tasted great
And the fun never ends!
Happy Irishfest 2009!! Slainte Mhath!!
