LITTLE JOHNNY DUGAN. Words by Thomas Le Mack. Music by Andrew Hack. 
Listen for a moment and I'll tell to ye a story, (Yes!)* It happened down to Slattery's a week ago to-night; (It did!) Singing, dancing, drinking, yes, and we were in our glory; (we were!) The fun it didn't last long, for it ended In a fight. (It would!) At ten o'clock big Dan McCarthy he lept in the door, (Ha, ha!) And then, my friends, without a provocation or a cause, (Well!) He took a bold of Dugan and ho threw him on the floor. (He would!) Oh, listen just a moment, And I'll tell you how it was: (Just!) 
Chorus. Solo; Dan McCarthy took a stick and made a smash at Dugan. Charm; What, little Johnny Dugan? Solo: Yes: he swears he'll have his life. Chorus; What, did Dugan do to him? Solo: He swears he was untrue to him. Chorus; Did Dugan owe him money? Solo: No-he stole McCarthy's wife. 
Course, you know, it isn't right to quarrel at a party, (No!) Especially when they're Irish, for they all get mixing in; (They would!) Dooley, Fagan, Slattery, Tim Cronin and McCarthy, (Yes!) The way they thumped each other, sure, it really was a sin. (It was!) Of course, you know, it wasn't, right to do what Dugan done, (No!) To rob McCarthy's home and be a burden to his life. (Just!) There must be compensation when the Judgment day does come; (There must!) If I was Johnny Dugan I'd get him another wife. (Good!)- Chorus.
