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
