HARRIGAN
from Irish Music Hall MCA/MILLS

Who is the man who will spend or will even lend?
Harrigan, that's me!
Who is your friend when you find that you need a friend?
Harrigan, that's me!
For I'm just as proud of my name, you see
As an Emperor, Czar or a King could be
Who is the man helps a man ev'ry time he can?
Harrigan, that's me!
 
H, A, double-R, I, G, A, N spells Harrigan
Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me
'Divil' a man can say a word agin' me
H, A, double-R, I, G, A, N you see
Is a name that a shame never has been connected with
Harrigan, that's me!
 
Who is the man never stood for a 'gad-a-bout'?
Harrigan, that's me!
Who is the man that the town's simply mad about?
Harrigan, that's me!
The ladies and babies are fond of me
I'm fond of them, too, in return, you see
Who is the gent that's deserving a monument?
Harrigan, that's me!
