Edward Harrigan — Muldoon the Solid Man

I am a man of great influence And educated to a high degree I came when small from Donegal And me cousin Jimmy came along with me On the city road I was situated In a lodging house with me brother Dan Till by perseverance I elevated Straight to the front just like a solid man Chorus: So come with me and I will treat you dacent I’ll set you down and I will fill your can And along the street all the friends I meet Say "There goes Muldoon, he’s a solid man." At any party or at a raffle I always go as an invited guest As conspicuous as the great Lord Mayor, boys I wear a nosegay upon me chest And when called upon for to address the meeting With no regard for clique or clan I read the Constitution with great elocution Because you see, I am a solid man Chorus I control the Tombs, I control the island My constituents they all go there To enjoy their summer’s recreation And to take the enchanting East River air I am known in Harlem, I’m known in Jersey I am welcomed hearty at every hand And come what may on St. Patrick’s Day I'll march away like a solid man Chorus
