[Verse 1]
Well I woke up this morning
Bursting for a pint
And I says to me 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"

[Verse 2]
Well, Jaysus, boys, that's lovely
And it's great to see yiz all
Sure, it's just a drop of porter
And I won't have any more
Ah sure maybe one more mouthful
And home then I will steer
'Cause I'm only gonna drink it down to there

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Well, it was grеat to see yiz
And I'll bid yiz all adieu
And I suppose that I'll have onе last sup
"Sure, so will I", says you
So, if ye have one handy
Raise it in the air
And join me while I drink it down to there
