Over here (Australia) it is taught as such: Paddy McGinty found a dollar note, And took it to the market and bought himself a goat, Now this very goat, it had an appetite, And early in the morning it ate some dynamite, Heyyy one box of matches, two tins of kerosene, Two quarts of petrol, the same of gasoline, It sat by the fire, a spark went down its throat And that was the end of Paddy McGinty's goat. Now if you go to heaven, I'll bet you a dollar note, That the angel with the whiskers is Paddy McGinty's goat.
