W:Trinity Cake
W:
W:As I leaned o'er the rail of the Eagle,
W:The letter boy brought unto me,
W:A little gilt-edged invitation,
W:Sayin' the girls want you over for tea.
W:Sure I knew the O'Hooligans sent it,
W:And I went just for old friendship sake,
W:And the first thing they gave me to tackle,
W:Was a slice of the Trinity Cake.
W:
W:There were bird calls, flutes, and mouth organs,
W:With handles of double edged files,
W:Corners of clergymen's pockets,
W:And pieces of broken bass viols.
W:Blue lights and petticoat jumpers,
W:That would build up a fine stomach ache,
W:For 'twould kill a man twice after eating a slice
W:Of this wonderful Trinity Cake.
W:
W:Mrs O'Hooligan, proud as a peacock,
W:Kept smilin' and blinkin' away,
W:While her daughter Johanna, a spinster,
W:Was helping the boys to the "tay".
W:There was everything on the table,
W:That a man or a woman could take,
W:And my eyes nearly burst from their sockets,
W:For a taste of the Trinity Cake.
W:
W:Ellen Reardigan wanted to taste it,
W:And she struggled near ready to bust,
W:Two sealers attacked it with hand spikes,
W:To try and remove the top crust.
W:Then McCarthy went out for a hatchet,
W:And Flannigan grabbed an old saw,
W:That cake was enough, by the powers,
W:To paralyze any man's jaw.
W:
W:McCarthy complained of his stomach,
W:And Morgan felt bad in the head,
W:And Hogan crawled near the melodeon,
W:And fervently wished he was dead.
W:And Flannigan grabbed the accordion,
W:And there he did wriggle and shake,
W:And all of them swore they were poisoned or more,
W:From eating this wonderful cake.
W:
W:There were glass eyes, bull's eyes, and fresh butter,
W:Lampwicks and liniment, too,
W:Pastry as hard as a shutter,
W:That a billy goat's jaw couldn't chew.
W:Tobacco and whiskers of crackies,
W:That would give you the fever and ache,
W:You'd crack off from the knees, if you happen to sneeze,
W:After eating this Trinity Cake.%%text rev: v1.0, March 5, 2015 - wdm
