Well I woke up this morning Bursting for a pint And I says to my darling "I´ll get one, do ya mind? I´ll only have a mouthful
No more than that, I swear I´m only gonna drink it down to there"
Well, Jaysus, boys, that´s lovely And it´s great to see yous all Sure, it´s just a drop of porter And I won´t have any more I share maybe one more mouthful And home then I will steer ´Cause I´m only gonna drink it down to there
Well, my thirst, it is a-quenching And I am feeling fine But, boys, I learned my lesson That´s it now for the night Ah, sure, one more drop won´t kill me But, that´s it, don´t you fear ´Cause I´m only gonna drink it down to there
Well, it was great to see yous And I´ll bid yous all adieu And I suppose that I´ll have one last sup "Sure, so will I", says you So, if ya have one handy Raise it in the air And join me while I drink it down to there
