Since Maggie Dooley Learned The Hooley Hooley 1916

Maggie Dooley packed her grip
and left Erin's Isle,
For a trip to Honolulu.
Maggie Dooley learned to dance
and after a while,
came back home dressed like a Zulu.
She has a brand new walk;
She talks Hawaiian talk
she's made a Honolulu
out of poor old County Cork.

Since Maggie Dooley
learned to Hooley Hooley,
Ireland is fading away.
The Sweeney's and Daleys
have sold their shillelahs
and brought ukeleles to play.
The fat Miss Kelly
wiggles just like jelly
when those dancers sway,
and every colleen on the street,
is all dressed up
like shredded wheat
since Maggie Dooley
learned the Hooley.

Since Maggie Dooley

and brought ukeleles to play.
The fat Miss Kelly
wiggles just like jelly
when those dancers sway,
and every colleen on the street,
is all dressed up
like shredded wheat
since Maggie Dooley
learned the Hooley.

Maggie Dooley has the people
all off their nut,
with her new Hawaiian Blarney.
Everybody's leaving town
and building a hut,
On the lakes of old Killarney.
I think it's a disgrace;
The women of the place
are making wild men out of
all the poor old Irish race.

Since Maggie Dooley
learned to Hooley Hooley,
Ireland is fading away.
The Sweeney's and Daleys
have sold their shillelahs
and brought ukeleles to play.
The fat Miss Kelly
wiggles just like jelly
when those dancers sway,
and every colleen on the street,
is all dressed up
like shredded wheat

and every colleen on the street,
is all dressed up
