Mcginty, King Of The Rink - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
McGINTY, KING OF THE RINK Copyright, 1884, by Benj. W. Hitchcock. Words and Music by Chas. Crandall. 
Oh, they call me the " King of the Rink," A skater I am, so they think; For when I appear the people all cheer, And the ladies at me slyly wink. So fondly at me they will glance. When I have on my Oscar Wilde pants And tight polo cap, their hands they'll clap, For "McGinty, the King of the Rink." 
Chorus. I can skate, for I bate ev'ry man in the rink I At "go as you please;" I did pose on my toes, when they call'd out, "McGinty, you're King of the Kink." 
When I skated at Coney Island, They have a fine rink on the sand, I made fancy whirls, which captured the girls, When the music struck up by the band. I thought I would give the grape-vine, When a fellow came up from behind; But soon he was floored and everybody roar'd For "McGinty, the King of the Rink. " -Chorus. 
Now a lady with bright auburn hair Last Saturday evening was there; And how she did skate, I'm sure it was fate. That I met this young lady so fair. We did all the movements in style, When she turn'd, saying with a sweet smile, "McGinty, old man, do well as you can, For we know you're ' King of the Rink.' "-Chorus.
