Somebody’s Got My Goat

Where did the “Get Your Goat” expression originate?

There was even a song published in 1908, “Somebody’s Got My Goat”

Somebody’s got my goat

He must have gone a-strollin’
Though he was old enough to vote
He’s lost, strayed or stollen
When he began to feel his oats
He went out chasing nanny goats
You never struck such a giddy old buck
Has anybody seen my goat?

(words by Edward Madden, music by Theodore Morse. [15640] F. B. Haviland pub. Co., New York, N. Y. C 182830, June 3, 1908.)
