Song Lyrics
(Apples and Bananas version)

Emma: There was an old man named Michael Finnegan

He had whiskers on his chin again

Along came the wind and blew them in again

Poor old Michael Finnegan

Begin again!

Simon: There was an old man named Michael Finnegan

He had whiskers on his chin again

Along came the wind and blew them in again

Poor old Michael Finnegan

Lachy: There was an old man named Michael Finnegan

He had whiskers on his chin again. Along came the wind and blew them in again

Poor old Michael Finnegan

Emma, Lachy and Simon: There was an old man named Michael Finnegan

He had whiskers on his chin again

Along came the wind and blew them in again

Poor old Michael Finnegan
