I am after the lyric to what I think might have been a music hall song, Patsy Houlihan's Mule. There follows what I have so far :

There's thunder in the atmosphere, there's murder in the air

Since Pat Houlihan (NB might be "hooligan") last Thursday bought a mule down at the fair ;

And when he tried it in the shafts, it kicked the cart to bits -

It chewed up all the harness and it gave the neighbours fits.

Chorus (??) O, Hooligan !

If ever you buy a mule again !

You ought to be shot, you're off your dot,

You are a silly fool.

It's kicked the top of the steeple off -

It's killed a dozen policemen off -

And if you want to die quick, just get a kick

From Patsy Hooligan's mule.

Love it !!
