Mrs Fogherty’s Christmas Cake
Darby O'Gill

As I sat at my window last evenin’ the letterman brought unto me

A little gilt-edged invitation sayin’: Bill Hooly, come over to tea

Sure, I knew that the Fogherty’s sent it; so I went, just for old friendship’s sake

And the first thing they gave you to tackle was a slice o’ Miss Fogherty’s cake

Now, there were plums and prunes and cherries

There were saffrons and raisins and cinnamon too

There was nutmegs, cloves and berries

And the crust that was held on with glue

There were caraway seeds in abundance

Sure to build up a fine stomach ache

It would kill a man twice just for eatin’ a slice

Of Miss Fogherty’s Christmas cake

---

Miss Mulligan wanted to taste it But really, there wasn’t no use

They worked at it over an hour And they couldn’t get none of it loose

Till Kelly came in with a hatchet And Murphy came in with a saw

That cake was enough, by the powers To paralyze any man’s jaw

---

Miss Fogherty, proud as a peacock Kept smilin’ and blinkin’ away

Till she fell over Flannigan’s broggins And spilled the whole brew of her tae

Oh, Bill Hooly, she cried, you’re not eatin’ Try a little bit more for my sake

No thanks, Mrs. Fogherty, says I But I’d Like the receipt o’ that cake

---

Maloney was took with the colic McKnolte complained of his head

McFadden laid down on the sofa And he swore that he wished he was dead

Miss Daily fell down in hysterics And there she did wriggle and shake

While every man swore he was poisoned For eatin Miss Fogherty’s cake
