Googan's Fancy Ball 1897 19 The Belle Of New York

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Aug 2002

[Blinky Bill:] When I went to
Mister Googan's Fancy Ball,
I was walking round the room
with Dan Maloney,
Says Dan to me,
the girl that knocks them all
is the auburn hair'd Laetitia Ann Mahoney.
Says I to Dan:
"Yer talking though yer hat,
Letitia ain't the one to catch the fancy,
She is bandy legged, freckled, and she's fat,
and she isn't in the game with Mamie Clancy."
Oh, Little Mamie Clancy
was the girl that caught my fancy,
why Letitia Ann Mahoney
wasn't in the race at all;
if you'd seen my little Mamie,
I am sure you couldn't blame me,
when I said: "Maloney, she's the
Belle of Googan's Fancy Ball."

Well, Maloney like a gilly he got mad,
when I spoke about
the freckled Miss Mahoney,
Oh it never once occurr'd to me she had
come to Mister Googan's party with Maloney.
Maloney hit me once upon the jaw,
And then I hit him on the solar plexus,
The last of Dan Maloney that I saw
He was sailing through the window
bound for Texas.

Oh, Little Mamie Clancy
was the girl that caught my fancy,
why Letitia Ann Mahoney
wasn't in the race at all;
if you'd seen my little Mamie,
I am sure you couldn't blame me,
when I sad: "Maloney, she's the
Belle of Googan's Fancy Ball."

[Dance:]
