ok kids, i was sitting here thinking about how many of you around the world have never heard the song south side irish because its a chicago thing, so i figured i would share!!! CANT WAIT for the soutside parade on March 11, 2007.
Written in 1984 by singer Terry McEldowney and guitar players Tom Black and Tom Walsh, the song alternately boasts about the South Side and bashes the North, as in this verse and chorus:
"We sing the songs our fathers sang when they were growing up, rebel songs of Erin's Isle in the South Side Irish pubs, and when it comes to baseball -- we have two favorite clubs, the go-go White Sox . . . and whoever plays the Cubs.
"We're the South Side Irish as our fathers were before, we come from the Windy City and we're Irish to the core, from Bridgeport to Beverly from Midway to South Shore, we're the South Side Irish -- let's sing it out once more."
