When I was a young man I was lead 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 or two

Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!
Drink 'er up boys its 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 its well after ten!
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!

It's the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the evening when we're feeling fine
We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine

Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!

Its the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
And when in the morning when I'm feeling rough
I curse ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten!
