Drink Boys Drink

(Jack Ripley)



God made the world round as a buffle

God made love and love made trouble

God made the wine and was it a sin

That man made wine to drown his troubles in?



So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow

Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow

My money's gone, well bless my soul

Who put punch in the whiskey bowl?



Which came first the chicken or the egg

Which came first the beer or the keg

Which came first the fish or the sea

I'll tell you boys what is not for me.



So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow

Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow

The dog hates the kitten the cat hate the dog

Say old woman, as you rub our back.

Here's to you as good as you are

And here's to me as bad as I am

But as good as you are and as bad as I am

I'm as good as you are as bad as I am.



So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow

Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow

Well, enough of this could make one weak

Now, wouldn't that blow Jimmy's head in the creek?



Here's to our wives, here's to our girls

And here's to the mothers around the world

Here's to them that wish us well

And them that can go straight to hell.



And drink boys, drink got away the sorrow

Drink boysm drink never mind tomorrow

There's nothing new under the sun

But I've got a bottle so let's have one.



So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow

Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow

My money's gone, well bless my soul

Who put punch in the whiskey bowl?



So drink boys, drink got away the sorrow

Drink boys, drink never mind tomorrow

The dog hate the kitten the cat hate the dog

Say old woman, as you rub our back...
