while it is true that Christians took over druid and Pagan celebrations and scared locations placing churches on those locations.. and turning pagan holidays into Catholic holidays Christmas and Halloween come to mind... Yule and Samhein ... there is no such correlation for St Patrick's Day.
I've been singing this since noon-ish in my fake Irish accent.......
A long time ago, when the earth was still green,
There were more kinds of an.imals than you've ever seen;
They'd run around free while the earth was being born,
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn.
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
The loveliest of all was the Unicorn.
Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave Him pain.
And He said, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain."
He said, "Hey, Bruther Noah, I'll tell you what to do.
Build me a floating Z00."
And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
Don't you forget my Unicorn."
Old Noah was there to answer the call,
He finished up making the Ark just as the rain started fallin',
He marched in the an.imals two by two
And he called out as they went through,
"Hey, Lord: I've got yer....
Green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn,
I just can't see no Unicorn."
Old Noah looked out into the driving rain,
Them Unicorns was hiding, playing silly games,
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring,
Oh, them silly Unicorns.
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Noah cried, "Close the doors 'cause the rain is pourin',
And we just can't wait for no Unicorns."
The Ark started movin', it drifted with the tide,
Them Unicorns looked up from the rock and they cried,
And the waters came down and sorta floated them away,
That's why you'll never see a Unicorn, to this very day.
You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees,
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
You're never gonna see no Unicorn.

A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer-and another one!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
