Jakey’s Gin
Lyrics
When I was a young man I was let astray
I met with a body down in Logy Bay
We went out in a weather, we wore out our shoes
And up Kingsway Road for a drink of Old Blue
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Some people say that the Pinky is fine
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
But as for myself, I'm a bottle of each
Mixed in with a gallon of Dipper or Screech
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
It's the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And then in the evening when we're feeling fine
We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
It's the old shavin' lotion that's made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And then in the morning when I'm feeling rough
I curse ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Drink 'er up, boys, it's well after ten
Take it - two, four, out the door!
