Paddy McGinty's Goat

Paddy Mcginty's Goat (In the Style of Irish Band) (Demo Vocal Version) - ProSource Karaoke

Mister Patrick McGinty an Irishman of note

Came into a fortune so bought himself a goat

Said he "Sure

Of goat's milk I mean to have my fill "

But when he got his Nanny home

He found it was a Bill

And now all the ladies who live in Killaloo

Are all wearing bustles like

Their mothers used to do

They each wear a bolster beneath the petticoat

And leave the rest to Providence

And Paddy McGinty's goat

Missis Burke to her daughter said

Listen Mary Jane

Now who was the man you were

Cuddling in the lane

He'd long wiry whiskers all hanging from his chin "

"Twas only Pat McGinty's goat "

She answer'd with a grin

Then she went away from the village in disgrace

She came back with powder

And paint upon her face

She'd rings on her fingers

And she wore a sable coat

You bet your life they never

Came from Paddy McGinty's goat

Little Norah McCarthy the knot was going to tie

She washed all her trousseau

And hung it out to dry

Then up came the goat

And he saw the bits of white:

He chewed up all her falderals

And on her wedding night:

"Oh turn out the gas quick "

She shouted out to Pat

For though l'm your bride

Sure l'm not worth looking at

I'd got two of ev'rything

I told you when I wrote

But now I've one of nothing

All thro' Paddy McGinty's goat '

Mickey Riley he went to the races t'other day

He won twenty dollars and shouted

"Hip Hooray "

He held up the note shouting "Look what I've got "

The goat came up and grabbed at it

And swallowed all the lot

"He's eaten my banknote " said Mickey

With the hump

They ran for the doctor

He brought a stomach pump

He pumped and he pumped for that

Twenty dollar note

But all he got was ninepence out of

Paddy McGinty's goat

Now old Paddy's Goat had a wonderous appetite

And one day for breakfast he ate some dynamite

A whole box of matches he swallowed all serene

And then he went

And gobbled up a quart of paraffin

He sat by the fireside he didn't give a hang

Swallowed a spark and exploded

And exploded with a bang

SO if you go to heaven you can

Bet a dollar note

That the Angel with the whiskers

On is Paddy McGinty's Goat
