Good occasion to reprint some lyrics from the best song ever about rising from the dead at a wake.
Mickey Maloney lowered his head
And a bottle of whiskey flew at him
Missed, and fallin’ on the bed
The liquor scattered over Tim
Tim revives! See how he rises!
Timothy risin’ from the bed
Sayin’: “Whirl your liquor around like blazes
Thunderin’ Jaysus! Do you think I’m dead?”
Whack fol-the-dah, oh dance to your partner
Welt the floor, your trotters shake
Wasn’t it the truth I told ya?
Lots of fun at Finnegan’s wake
I had that song in my head just yesterday.
