Oh me name is Paddy Murphy I'm Irish through and through
I drink me pints with the boys in the pub that's surely what I do
And if I cut me finger, you'll see that I bleed green
For I'm the truest Irishman that you have ever seen

One day my wife said Paddy, wouldn't it be grand 
To learn that we're related to the kings of Ireland
We'll be the talk down at the pub, such a pedigree
Let's mail away a sample to twenty three and me

Twenty three and me, me boys, twenty three and me
Let's mail away a sample to twenty three and me
Twenty three and me, me lads, twenty three and me
Just spit it a cup and send it off to learn our history

So we sent away a sample to check our DNA
I told my friends it won't be long we'll be hearing any day
Then one night I came from work my wife was at the door
She said sit down here Paddy this will shake you to the core

Twenty three and me, me boys, twenty three and me
We mailed away a sample to twenty three and me
Twenty three and me, me lads, twenty three and me
Looks like we got an answer from twenty three and me

I could tell that it was serious by the look upon her face
She handed me a letter and my heart began to race
I stared down at the paper not believing what it was saying
The chart said partly Irish, but mostly French Canadian

Twenty three and me, me boys, twenty three and me
Let's mail away a sample to twenty three and me
Twenty three and me, me lads, twenty three and me
Just spit it a cup and send it off to learn our history

I always thought me roots were in the land of Innisfree
Until I got a letter from twenty three and me
Until I got a letter from twenty three and me
