There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his chinnegan
He cut 'em off but they grew in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a pin again
Caught a fish but it flopped back it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He ran a race and tried to win again
He fell down and bumped his shin again
Poor old Michael
Poor old Michael
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Don't begin again.
