St. Patrick's Green
Oh, I love to see the shamrocks
Boys wear March seventeen,
And I love the girls' green ribbons,
And bits of evergreen;
For they stand for brave St. Patrick,
So fearless and so good -
Oh! the Irish ought to love him,
Just as everybody should!

Dyeing the Chicago River green  
The tradition started in 1962, when city pollution-control   workers used dyes to trace illegal sewage discharges and   realized that the green dye might provide a unique way to   celebrate the holiday. That year, they released 100 pounds   of green vegetable dye into the river—enough to keep it   green for a week!   Today, in order to minimize environmental damage, only   forty pounds of dye are used, making the river green for  only several hours.
