[Verse 1]
As I sat in me window last evening
The letter was brought 'round to me
A little gilt-edged invitation sayin'
"Gilhooley come over to tea"
Each Christmas, the Fogartys' sent it
So I went just for old friendships sake
And the first thing they gave me to tackle
Was a slice of Miss Fogarty's cake
[Chorus]
And there were plums and prunes and cherries
There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too
There was nuts, and cloves and berries
And a crust that was nailed on with glue
There were caraway seeds in abundance
Sure to work up a fine stomach ache
It could kill a man twice after eating a slice
Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake
[Verse 2]
Miss Mulligan wanted to try it
But really it wasn't no use
For we worked in it over an hour
But a piece of it wouldn't come loose
'Til Kelly came in with a hatchet
And Murphy came in with a saw
But Miss Fogerty's cake had the power
For to paralyze any man's jaws
