I totally agree with you on this one. Although Hyde Park isn't the greatest the south side has to offer, it's fun to get out and see the parade. Haha I think I'm going to see if all my friends from the million catholic schools around here know these songs too

OMG!!!!!! I'm a southside irish girl - i have been going to this parade since i was in my mothers womb!!!!!!! my friends and i live for this day - and trust me, you have not experienced St. Paddy's day until you've come to the southside of chicago i will be there with some green beer in one hand some soda bread in the other and belting out the southside irish song:

We're Windy City Irish - Where the craic is always best. Where everyday is Paddy's Day and everyones a guest. If your Irish on the North Side or Irish on the West, Welcome to the South Side, come join the Irish Fest!

Chorus) 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 - Lets sing it out once more!


Our Parents came from Mayo, from Cork and Donegal. We come from Sabina, St. Kilians and St. Gall, St. Leo, Visitation, Little Flower and the rest... South Side Parishes are mighty - they're the best!

We live on the South Side-Mayor Daley lived here too. The Greatest Irish Leader that Chicago ever knew and he was always proud of his South Side Irish roots! So here's to His Honor to his memory we'll be true.

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!


sorry, i'm obsessed, lol
