Okay, here it is. I don't know if I'm brave enough to perform this in public, but I'll have one more week to decide--our Friday Night Group will be playing on the 16th, the day before St. Patrick's Day.
I have tried to be historically accurate without giving too mmuch detail. I wanted to capture the spirit of the occasion, as it were. This is not Celtic music (our saw player likes to play Celtic music, and this is definitely not it). I figured if you got the snakes, man, you got the blues.
No, I have not recorded it.

INVITATION TO ST. PATRICK
J. Wrabek
CHORUS:
Saint Paddy, why'ncha come over to my place?
Saint Paddy, why'ncha come over to my place?
We can drink green beer, and you can chase away my snakes.
1.
I'm on an island in the middle of the sea;
I'm on an island in the middle of the sea;
Be a saint, dear Paddy, come over here and rescue me.
CHORUS:
Saint Paddy, why'ncha come over to my place?
Saint Paddy, why'ncha come over to my place?
We can drink green beer, and you can chase away my snakes.
2.
I got sankes, Saint Paddy, as far as the eye can see;
I got snakes, Saint Paddy, as far as the eye can see;
I need a man with some herpetology.
CHORUS:
Saint Paddy, why'ncha come over to my place?
Saint Paddy, why'ncha come over to my place?
We can drink green beer, and you can chase away my snakes.
3.
I'm ready for religionbring your Bible, please;
I'm ready for religionbring your Bible, please;
We can talk about it after you are done convertin' me.
CHORUS:
Saint Paddy, why'ncha come over to my place?
Saint Paddy, why'ncha come over to my place?
We can drink green beer, and you can chase away my snakes.
4.

And Say "Be nice to Saint Paddy, or them snakes is comin' back again."

We can drink green beer, and you can chase away my snakes.
