Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy's Chowder
Sangen beskriver en hændelse, hvor et par slidte overalls bliver fundet i en portion af Mrs. Murphys store gryde med suppe. Tim Nolan, som opdagede overalls, går straks ud fra, at det var en spøg, og lover at påføre "den mick, der smed overalls ... ". Fru Murphy indrømmer, da hun opdager balladen, at hun har glemt at tage overalls ud af gryden, efter at hun tidligere på dagen havde brugt den til tøjvask, hvorefter Nolan undskylder, og gruppen sætter musik til hans ord og synger (koret).

The song describes an incident in which a pair of worn-out overalls are found in a batch of Mrs. Murphy's large pot of chowder. Tim Nolan, who discovered the overalls, immediately assumes it was a prank, and promises to inflict pain on "the mick that threw the overalls ... ". Mistress Murphy, upon realizing the ruckus, admits that she forgot to take the overalls out of the pot after she had been using it for laundry earlier in the day, at which point Nolan apologizes and the group puts music to his words and sing (the chorus).
