| [00:18.139] | No doubt you've all heard of the hop of Tim Lannigan |
| [00:22.579] | 'Twas nothing to what I will tell you about. |
| [00:26.207] | At a spree I once had in great Washington City, |
| [00:30.312] | To see which I got all my new clothes out of spout. |
| [00:34.422] | One evening a ticket I got for the White House. |
| [00:38.247] | All dressed in my best on old Abe I did call. |
| [00:42.495] | Be jabbers, the fun it will ne'er be forgotten |
| [00:46.182] | The night I did dance at the president's ball. |
| [00:54.744] | A servant, he stood at the door for to take me to |
| [00:58.581] | Where Abraham and his lady did stand. |
| [01:02.155] | So nervous I felt that a trifle would shake me |
| [01:06.203] | Til the lady herself took me gently in hand. |
| [01:10.238] | But when they struck up with a hundred wee fiddles, |
| [01:14.304] | And Billy O'Seward the dances did call, |
| [01:18.368] | There was me and old Chase and his wife and his daughters |
| [01:22.194] | Danced Father Jack Walsh at the president's ball. |
| [01:34.647] | There was Henry Beecher and Barnum's "What-is-it" |
| [01:38.464] | And the mayor of Squedunck with an Albany gal, |
| [01:42.155] | With ten thousand sutlers and army contractors |
| [01:46.168] | And brigadier generals no figures could tell. |
| [01:50.224] | There was Fernandy Wood and a host of place seekers |
| [01:54.239] | But soon a loud shout did ascend through the hall. |
| [01:58.061] | 'Twas the people applauding brave Grant and McClellan, |
| [02:02.160] | The pride and the joy of the president's ball. |
| [03:28.935] | A soldier, he came and he tried for to enter |
| [03:32.678] | With medals for battles all over his breast. |
| [03:36.554] | But being a private nobody durst venture |
| [03:40.618] | To let him come in there of shoddy the best. |
| [03:44.587] | The British ambassador were just about to leave, |
| [03:48.657] | And he managed to steal Mrs. Cunningham's shawl. |
| [03:52.851] | And Miles O'Reiley, the prince of all poets, |
| [03:56.633] | He pinched all the spoons at the president's ball. |
| [04:09.232] | When daylight broke, they stopped all the dancing, |
| [04:12.579] | And then there commenced such a hullabaloo. |
| [04:16.545] | For senator Sumner, he drank to Jeff Davis |
| [04:20.698] | And Stanton, he swore he would quick put them through. |
| [04:24.565] | Then at it they went like Tom King and Heenin |
| [04:28.778] | The police rushed in as the ladies did squall. |
| [04:32.701] | They carried Abe Lincoln home drunk on a stretcher |
| [04:38.274] | And that put an end to the president's ball. |
