Album: N/A


Now Patrick McGinty, an Irishman of note
Fell in for a fortune and he bought himself a goat
Says he, sure of goat's milk I'm goin' to have me fill
But when he brought a Nanny home, he found it was a Bill

He won twenty dollars and he shouted hip hooray
He held up the note, shoutin' look at what I've got

He's eaten my banknote, says Mickey with a hump
They went for the doctor and they got a stomach pump
They pumped and they pumped for the twenty dollar note
