Mick McGillgan's Ball - Party Buzz

Mick McGilligan one fine day

Got a lotta money from the USA

All from the death of his uncle Joe

He got a million and a half or so

Says McGilligan «I'll have a fancy ball

Down at the old ancestral hall»

Invited the neighbors, everyone

«Would you some music and some ale and fun?»

And they all went down to Mick McGilligan’s ball

Where they had to tear the paper off the wall

To make room for all the people in the hall

All the girls and the boys made a devil of a noise

At Mick McGilligan’s ball

Hey

The neighbors came from near and far

Mulligan arrived in a motor car

Old Mrs. Reilly, bless her heart

Came with her family in a donkey cart

Pat O’Rafferty arrived in an airplane

You’ll never see the likes again

And there was a shout when the two old Skins

Came along at a gallop with two Miss Quinns

And they all went down to Mick McGilligan’s ball

Where they had to tear the paper off the wall

To make room for all the people in the hall

Oh the girls and the boys made a devil of a noise

At Mick McGilligan’s ball

Hey
