[Verse]
Tim CFinnegan lived in WAmalkin Street; a Fgentleman - Irish, mighty Godd
He’d a Cbeautiful brogue so rich and Amsweet; and to Frise in the world he Gcarried a Chod
Now CTim had a sort of a Amtipplin’ way; with the Clove of the liqueur poor AmTim was born
And to Chelp him on with his Amway each day he’d a Fdrop of the craythur Gevery Cmorn
[Chorus]
CWack fol the dol now Amdance to yer partner, Fwelt the floor, your Gtrotters shake
CWasn’t it the Amtruth that I told ye: Flots o’ fun at GFinnegan’s Cwake
One Cmornin’ Tim was Amrather full. His Fhead felt heavy which Gmade him shake
He Cfell off the ladder and Ambroke his skull and they Fcarried him home his Gcorpse to Cwake
They Crolled him up in a nice clean Amsheet and lCaid him out upon the Ambed
With a Cbottle of whiskey Amat his feet and a gFallon of porter Gat his Chead
[Chorus]
CWack fol the dol now Amdance to yer partner, Fwelt the floor, your Gtrotters shake
CWasn’t it the Amtruth that I told ye: Flots o’ fun at GFinnegan’s Cwake
His Cfriends assembled at the Amwake, and the Fwidow Finnegan called for Glunch
CFirst she brought in Amtea and cakes, then piFpes, tobacco and Gwhiskey Cpunch
CBiddy O’Brien began to Amcry: Such a Cnice clean corpse did you ever Amsee
CTim, Mavourneen, Amwhy did ye die? FShut yer gob said GPaddy CMcGee
[Chorus]
CWack fol the dol now Amdance to yer partner, Fwelt the floor, your Gtrotters shake
CWasn’t it the Amtruth that I told ye: Flots o’ fun at GFinnegan’s Cwake
Then CMaggie O’Connor took up the Amjob O FBiddy, says she, you’re wrong I’m Gsure
Then CBiddy fetched her a Ambelt in the gob and Fleft her sprawlin’ Gon the Cfloor
CCivil war did then Amengage; ‘twas wComan to woman and Amman to man
SheleClaigh law was Amall the rage and a Frow and a ruction Gsoon Cbegan
[Chorus]
CWack fol the dol now Amdance to yer partner, Fwelt the floor, your Gtrotters shake
CWasn’t it the Amtruth that I told ye: Flots o’ fun at GFinnegan’s Cwake
Then CMickey Maloney ducked his Amhead as a Fbottle of whiskey flew at Ghim
It Cmissed, and landing Amon the bed, the Fwhiskey scattered Gover CTim
CTim revived, be damned he Amrises; CFinnegan risin’ from the Ambed
Sayin’ CWhirl yer whiskey around like Amblazes; thunder and FJesus, do ye Gthink I’m Cdead
[Chorus]
CWack fol the dol now Amdance to yer partner, Fwelt the floor, your Gtrotters shake
CWasn’t it the Amtruth that I told ye: Flots o’ fun at GFinnegan’s Cwake
