Paddy McGinty's Goat Lyrics

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

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
