Miss Hooligan's Christmas cake.
[Dundee] : Poet's Box, 10 Hunter Street, Dundee,
[1880-1900?]
Dated from examination of text and style.
'Sung by Harry Melville and J. M. Oates with success'.
'Copies of this song can always be had at the Poet's Box, 10 Hunter Street, Dundee, for the small sum of one penny'.
First line reads: As I sat at my windy one evening, / The letter man brought unto me / A little gilt edged invitation, / Saying, Gilhooly, come over to tea. / Sure I knew that the Hooligans sent it, / So I went just for old friendship's sake, / And the first thing they gave me to tackle / Was a piece of Miss Hooligan's cake.
