There was an old man
named Michael Finnegan,
He had whiskers
on his chinnegan,
The wind blew them off
but they grew in again,
Poor old Michael Finnegan (Begin again)
I know a man
named Michael Finnegan,
He went fishing
with a pinnegan,
Caught a fish
and dropped it in again,
Poor old Michael Finnegan
I know a man
named Michael Finnegan,
Climbed a tree
and barked his shin again,
Slid back down
and scraped his skin again,
Poor old Michael Finnegan
I know a man
named Michael Finnegan,
He kicked up an awful din again,
Because they said
he could not sing again,
Poor old Michael Finnegan
I know a man
named Michael
Finnegan,
He grew fat and then grew thin again,
Then he slept
and had to begin again,
Poor old Michael Finnegan
