Harrigan Words and Music by George M. Cohan

Italicized lyrics in the verses are sung by a Chorus, with the rest by a soloist.

Verse 1: Who is the man who will spend or will even lend? Harrigan, That's Me! Who is your friend when you find that you
need a friend? Harrigan, That's Me! For I'm just as proud of my name you see, As an Emperor, Czar or a King, could be.
Who is the man helps a man every time he can? Harrigan, That's Me!

Chorus: H - A - double R - I - G - A - N spells Harrigan Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me; Divil a man can say a word
agin me. H - A - double R - I - G - A - N, you see, Is a name that a shame never has been connected with, Harrigan, That's
me!

Verse 2: Who is the man never stood for a gad about? Harrigan, That's Me! Who is the man that the town's simply mad
about? Harrigan, That's Me! The ladies and babies are fond of me, I'm fond of them, too, in return, you see. Who is the gent
that's deserving a monument? Harrigan, That's Me!

Chorus: H - A - double R - I - G - A - N spells Harrigan Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me; Divil a man can say a word
agin me. H - A - double R - I - G - A - N, you see, Is a name that a shame never has been connected with, Harrigan, That's me!
