Drink It Up Men |
At the pub at the crossroads there’s whiskey and beer |
There’s brandy, strong cognac that’s aging for years |
But for killing the thirst and for easing the gout |
There’s nothing at all beats a pint of good stout |
Drink it up men it’s long after ten |
At the pub on the crossroads I first went astray |
There I drank enough drink for to fill Galway Bay |
Going up in the morning I wore out me shoes |
Going up to the cross for the best of good booze |
Drink it up men it’s long after ten |
Some folk’s o’er the water think bitter is fine |
And others the swear by the juice of the vine |
But there’s nothing that’s squeezed from the grape or the hop |
Like the black liquidation with the froth on the top |
Drink it up men it’s long after ten |
I’ve travelled in England, I’ve travelled in France |
At the sound of good music I’ll sing or I’ll dance |
So hear me then mister and pour me one more |
If I can’t drink it up, then throw me out the door |
Drink it up men it’s long after ten |
It’s Guinness’s porter that has me this way |
For it’s sweeter than buttermilk and stronger then tea |
And when in the morning I feel kind a rough |
Me curse on lord Iveagh who brews the damn stuff |
Drink it up men it’s long after ten |
Drink it up men it’s long after ten |
