How it all fits in:

Intro: Riff 1

Riff 1

She didn't wanna...

Riff 3

No one should come between us...

Riff 2

Still I was lonely...

Riff 1

Rat tat tat...

Riff 3

I'm a sister...

Riff 3 (Over and over again)

I am made of shamrocks...

Riff 1

And I said...

Riff 4

Mary's had a little lamb...

Well, you get the idea. After that, play Riff 1 faster and faster, then end

it with Riff 4.
