Michael Finnegan

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his chin again
Shaved them off, but they grew in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again!
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
Climbed a tree and he barked his shin again
Took off several yards of skin again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again!
There was an old man, Michael Finnegan
Caught a big fish on a bent pin again
When it flopped he dropped it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again!
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
Got drunk from drinkin' gin again
Then he promised never to sin again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again!
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
Didn't know where he'd been again
Didn't know where, didn't know when again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again!
There was an old man, Michael Finnegan
He played poker with some men again
Then he quit 'cause they wouldn't let him win again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again!
There was an old man, Michael Finnegan
He got fat and then got thin again
Then he died and had to begin again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
