Mrs Fogherty's Christmas Cake
As I sat at my window last evenin' the letterman brought unto me
A little gilt-edged invitation sayin'：Bill Hooly, come over to tea
Sure, I knew that the Fogherty's sent it; so I went, just for old friendship's sake
And the first thing they gave you to tackle was a slice o' Miss Fogherty's cake
Now, there were plums and prunes and cherries
There were saffrons and raisins and cinnamon too
There was nutmegs, cloves and berries
And the crust that was held on with glue
There were caraway seeds in abundance
Sure to build up a fine stomach ache
It would kill a man twice just for eatin' a slice
Of Miss Fogherty's Christmas cake

Miss Mulligan wanted to taste it But really, there wasn't no use

They worked at it over an hour And they couldn't get none of it loose
Till Kelly came in with a hatchet And Murphy came in with a saw
That cake was enough, by the powers To paralyze any man's jaw
---
Miss Fogherty, proud as a peacock Kept smilin' and blinkin' away
Till she fell over Flannigan's broggins And spilled the whole brew of her tae
Oh, Bill Hooly, she cried, you're not eatin' Try a little bit more for my sake
No thanks, Mrs. Fogherty, says I But I'd Like the receipt o' that cake

Maloney was took with the colic McKnolte complained of his head
McFadden laid down on the sofa And he swore that he wished he was dead
Miss Daily fell down in hysterics And there she did wriggle and shake
While every man swore he was poisoned For eatin Miss Fogherty's cake
