Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street, a gentle Irishman mighty odd
He had a brogue both rich and sweet, an' to rise in the world he carried a hod
You see he'd a sort of a tipplers way with the love for liquor he was born
To help him on his way each day, he'd a drop of the craychur every morn
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
One morning Tim got rather full, his head felt heavy which made him shake
Fell from a ladder and broke his skull, and they carried him home his corpse to wake
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet, and laid him out upon the bed
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
His friends assembled at the wake, and Mrs Finnegan called for lunch
First she brought in tea and cake, then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
Biddy O'Brien began to cry, "Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see,
Tim avourneen, why did you die?", "Arragh, shut your gob" said Paddy McGee
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
Patty O'Connor took up the job, "Biddy" says she "you're wrong, I'm sure"
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob, then left her sprawlin' on the floor
Then the war did soon enrage, t'was woman to woman and man to man
Shillelagh law was all the rage and a row and a ruction soon began
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
Mickey Maloney lowered his head and a bottle of whiskey flew at him
It missed, and falling on the bed, the liquor scattered over Tim
Tim revives, see how he rises, Timothy rising from the bed
Saying "Whirl your liquor around like blazes, thunderin' jaysus, do ye 'ink I'm dead?"
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner 'round the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of fun at Finnegan's Wake
