May the leprechauns dance over your bed
and bring you sweet dreams.
May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent!
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings,
slow to make enemies, quick to make friends.
But rich or poor, quick or slow,
may you know nothing but happiness,
from this day forward.
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all that we will know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you and I sigh.
May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more.
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door.

May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
It is better to spend money like there's no tomorrow
than to spend tonight like there's no money.
Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer-and another one!
