The words of the song are as follows:
__ (To the tune of "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms.)
Oh ! Harry Cahalan
Why all the deep wailin'
Why slice all the divots to hell ?
Just 'cause Paul and his forces
Walked all 'round the courses
And said how your playing was swell ?
You MUST give us credit
How kindly we said it
Whenever you foozled your putt
How warmly we guided
And quickly decided
You played in the style of King Tut.
What a help we have all been
When crossing the tall green
Encouraging you in your play
In the next match you play in
We know you'Il be sayin'
"I miss you ! I miss you ! Hooray ! !"
Harry is a great golf enthusiast, and Mr. Millican must have got his inspiration to write this song after seeing Harry do his stuff on the links.
