Here are two of my favorite renditions of the song beloved by the Irish (even though — heh — it was written by an English lawyer). From the Muppets and Miller’s Crossing.

I don’t mean to offend, of course. But even if I did we all know how peace-loving the Irish are on St. Paddy’s Day. I kid, I kid. I kid because I love.

(I hope Andy McCarthy’s away from his computer).
