Finnegan's Wake sing and play along
Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin' Street,
a gentle Irishman, mighty odd.
He had a a brogue der both he rich and sweet,
and to rise in the world co,
he carried a hod.
Now Tim had a sort 'o the tipplin' way,
with a love for the liquor poor Tim was born.
To help lon him on with his work each day,
he'd a "drop o' the craythur" ev dy 'ry morn.
Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner.
Whirl the floor, your trotters shake.
Wasn't it the truth I told you?
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake.
One mornnein' Tim was rather full;
his head felt heavy, which made him shake.
He fell from a lad der and he broke his skull,
and they carried him home, co,
his corpse ried to wake.
They rolled him O' up in a nice clean sheet and a laid him the out did upon the bed;
a gal lon of whiskey why at his feet and a barrel of porter at dy his head.
Whack fol the darn O, dance to your partner.
Whirl the floor, your trotters shake.
Wasn't it the truth I told you?
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake.
His Finnegan's wake.
