"Jakey's Gin" lyrics

When I was a young man I was led 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 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 when 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 when 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!
