[Verse 1]
D G D
As I sat by my window last evening
D A D
The letterman brought unto me
G D
A little gilt-edged invitation sayin'
E A
"Gilhooly come over for tea"
A D
I knew that the Fogarties sent it
D A D
So I went just for old friendships sake
G D
The first thing they gave me to tackle
A D
Was a slice of Miss Fogarty's cake
[Chorus]
D G D
There were plums and prunes and cherries
D A D
There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too
D G D
There was nutmeg, cloves and berries
E A
And a crust that was nailed on with glue
A D
There were carraway seeds in abundance
E A
Sure it would build up a fine stomach ache
D G
It would kill a man twice after eating a slice
A D
of Miss Fogarty's Christmas cake
[Verse 2]
D G D
Miss Mulloney she wanted to try it
D A D
But really there wasn't no use
G D
For we worked on it over an hour
E A
And we couldn't get none of it loose
A D
'Til Kelly came in with the hatchet
D A D
And Murphy came in with the saw
G D
That cake was enough by the powers
A D
To paralyze any man's jaw
[Chorus]
D G D
There were plums and prunes and cherries
D A D
There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too
