Verse 1:
G C G
As I sat in me window one evening
G C G
A letterman came unto me
G C G
With a nice little gilt invitation
A C D
Saying "Gilhooley come over for tea"
D G
I knew that the Fogarties sent it
Am C D
So I went for old friendship's sake
D C G
But the first thing they gave me to tackle
Am C D
Was a piece of Miss Fogarty's cake
Chorus:
G C G
There were plums and prunes and berries
G D G
Raisins and currants and cinnamon too!
G C G
There were nuts and cloves and cherries
A D
And a crust that was nailed on with glue!
D G
There were carraway seeds in abundance
A D
That would give you a fine stomach ache
G D B C
It would kill a man twice after eating a slice
D G
Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake!
Verse 2:
G C G
Miss Mulligan wanted to taste it
G C G
But really there wasn't no use
G C G
For they worked at it over an hour
Am C D
And couldn't get none of it loose
D G
Till Murphy he went for the hatchet
Am C D
And Kelly came in with a saw
D C G
That cake was enough by the powers above
Am C D
For to paralyze any man's jaw
Chorus:
G C G
There were plums and prunes and berries
G D G
Raisins and currants and cinnamon too!
G C G
There were nuts and cloves and cherries
A D
And a crust that was nailed on with glue!
D G
There were carraway seeds in abundance
A D
That would give you a fine stomach ache
G D B C
It would kill a man twice after eating a slice
D G
Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake!
Verse 3:
G C G
Miss Fogarty, proud as a peacock
G C G
Kept smiling and blinking away
G C G
Till she tripped over Flanagan's brogans
Am C D
And spilled a whole brewing of tea
D G
"Oh, Gilhooley", she cried, "you're not eating!
Am C D
Try a little bit more for my sake!"
D C G
"No, thank you", says I, "I've no courage to try
Am C D
To force down any more of that cake."
Chorus:
G C G
There were plums and prunes and berries
G D G
Raisins and currants and cinnamon too!
G C G
There were nuts and cloves and cherries
A D
And a crust that was nailed on with glue!
D G
There were carraway seeds in abundance
A D
That would give you a fine stomach ache
G D B C
It would kill a man twice after eating a slice
D G
Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake!
Verse 4:
G C G
Maloney was took with the colic
G C G
McNaulty complained of his head
G C G
O'Donnell lay down on the sofa
Am C D
And swore that he wished he was dead
D G
Miss Bailey fell down in hysterics
Am C D
And her legs, they did wriggle and shake
D C G
And everyone swore they were poisoned
Am C D
Just from eating Miss Fogarty's cake
Chorus:
G C G
There were plums and prunes and berries
G D G
Raisins and currants and cinnamon too!
G C G
There were nuts and cloves and cherries
A D
And a crust that was nailed on with glue!
D G
There were carraway seeds in abundance
A D
That would give you a fine stomach ache
G D B C
It would kill a man twice after eating a slice
D G
Of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake!

Though the taste is seductive, it makes me refluxive
