To the Irish! As copied from Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Tim Finnegan lived in Watlin Street
\nA gentle Irishman, mighty odd;
\nHe had a brogue both rich and sweet
\nAnd to rise in the world he carried a hod.
\nNow, Tim had a bit of the tipplers way
\nWith a love for the liquor poor Tim was born
\nAnd to send him on his way each day
\nHe had a drop of the Craythur every morn.<\/p>\n

Whack fol the dah O, dance to your partner
\nRound the floor, your trotters shake;
\nWasn’t it the truth I told you
\nLots of fun at Finnegan’s wake!<\/p>\n

One mornin’ Tim felt rather full
\nHis head felt heavy which made him shake;
\nHe fell from the ladder and broke his skull
\nAnd they carried him home his corpse to wake.
\nThey wrapped him up in a nice clean sheet
\nAnd laid him out upon the bed,
\nWith a barrel of whiskey at his feet
\nAnd a gallon of porter at his head.<\/p>\n

Whack fol the dah O, dance to your partner
\nRound the floor, your trotters shake;
\nWasn’t it the truth I told you
\nLots of fun at Finnegan’s wake!<\/p>\n

His friends assembled at the wake
\nAnd the widow Finnegan called for lunch,
\nFirst she laid out tay and a cake
\nThen pipes, tobacca’ and whiskey punch.
\nThen Biddy O’Brien began to cry
\n“Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see?
\nTim avourneen, why did you die?”,
\n“Will ye hould your gob?” said Paddy McGee!<\/p>\n

Whack fol the dah O, dance to your partner
\nRound the floor, your trotters shake;
\nWasn’t it the truth I told you
\nLots of fun at Finnegan’s wake!<\/p>\n

Then Peggie O’Connor took up the job
\n“O Biddy,” says she, “You’re wrong, I’m sure”
\nBiddy gave her a belt in the gob
\nAnd left her sprawlin’ on the floor.
\n‘then the war did soon engage
\nIt was woman to woman and man to man,
\nShillelagh law was all the rage
\nAnd a row and a ruction soon began.<\/p>\n

Whack fol the dah O, dance to your partner
\nRound the floor, your trotters shake;
\nWasn’t it the truth I told you
\nLots of fun at Finnegan’s wake!<\/p>\n

Then Mickey Maloney ducked his head
\nWhen a noggin of whiskey flew at him,
\nIt missed, and landed on the bed
\nAnd the whiskey scattering over Tim!
\nBedad he revives and see how he rises
\nTimothy risin’ from the dead,
\nSays, “Flingin that whiskey around like blazes”
\n“Thunderin’ Jesus do you think I’m dead?”<\/p>\n

Whack fol the dah O, dance to your partner

\nWasn’t it the truth I told you
