We set the scene in Ireland at a destination wedding
Poor Maddie was a bridesmaid and the union she was dreading
She smiled for Paul and Emma, for contented she did seem
But fancying the groom, she thought they made a mighty team
To manifest the lifting of the burden that she carried,
Our Maddie made a wish that she and Paul were getting married
Enraptured in enchanted sleep she never could foresee
She’d wake up on the mattress of her friend, the bride to be
She soon deduced that magic wish upon her had bestowed
An alternate reality where Paul was her betrothed
While certain that to this new perfect life she’d soon adjust
She had a chance encounter with the stranger from the bus
The wedding was approaching, the plans were all in place
And Maddie had that feeling she no longer had to chase
But suddenly here James was with his camera and his car
While Paul seemed more concerned with generating good PR
(chorus)
Irish wish, an Irish wish
Nothing beats the magic of an Irish wish
From broken hearts to brand-new sparks
Be ready for the wisdom that an Irish wish imparts
Will Paul become a husband? Will Maddie be his wife?
Is this the kind of future that she’s wished for all her life?
She thinks that Paul’s her soulmate, and over him she’s pined
But is there someone else with whom she’s cosmically aligned?
“I’m not sure this is supposed to be my life,” she said with apprehension Conflicted and bewildered at the world of her invention.
Irish wish, an Irish wish,
Experience the magic of an Irish wish!
