There was an old man
named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers
on his chin-again
They fell out
and then grew in again.
Poor old Michael Finnegan.

Begin again!

There was an old man
named Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a pin-again
Caught a fish 
and dropped it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man 
named Michael Finnegan
He grew fat 
and then grew thin again
Went on diets
and couldn't get skin-again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man
named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers
on his chin-again
They fell out
and then grew in again.
Poor old Michael Finnegan.
Begin again.

There was an old man
named Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a pin-again
Caught a fish 
and dropped it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man 
named Michael Finnegan
He grew fat 
and then grew thin again
Went on diets
and couldn't get skin-again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.
