The Harlem Goat...The Harlem Goat
Was feeling fine...Was feeling fine.
Ate three red shirts...Ate three red shirts
Right off the line...Right off the line.
Oh, Bill got mad...Oh, Bill got mad.
Gave him a whack...Gave him a whack.
And tied him to...And tied him to
The railroad track...The railroad track.

The whistle blew...The whistle blew.
The train drew nigh...The train drew nigh.
The Harlem Goat...The Harlem Goat
Was due to die...Was due to die.
He gave three groans...He gave three groans
Three groans of pain...Three groans of pain.
Coughed up the shirts...Coughed up the shirts
And flagged the train...And flagged the train.

But a button got stuck...But a button got stuck
In the middle of his throat...In the middle of his throat.
And that’s the end...And that’s the end
Of..the...Harlem..Goat!......Of...the...Harlem..Goat!
They buried him...They buried him
On the lone prairie...On the lone prairie.
And that’s the end...And that’s the end
Of...my...storyyyy!......Of...my...storyyyy!
