Drink Up the Cider Songtext
von Foster & Allen

Drink up the cider, George
Pass me round the jug
Drink up the cider, George
Thy garden′s nigh well dug
There's dung all o′er your taters
And half way up thy gaters
And there's still more cider in the jug

Drink up the cider, drink up the cider
For to-night we'll merry be
We′ll knock the milkmaids over
And roll them in the clover
The corn′s half-cut and so are we

Drink up the cider, George
Thee's been going far
Drink up the cider, George
Thee′s getting quite a start
Thy cheeks are getting redder
From charterhouse to cheddar
And there's still more cider in the jar


Drink up the cider, drink up the cider
For to-night we′ll merry be
We'll knock the milkmaids over
And roll them in the clover
The corn′s half-cut and so are we

Drink up the cider, George
Get up off the mat
Drink up the cider, George
Put on thy great big hat
We're going to borrow Gerdie
To see my brother Ernie
And there's still more cider in the bat

Drink up the cider, drink up the cider
For to-night we′ll merry be
We′ll knock the milkmaids over
And roll them in the clover
The corn's half-cut and so are we

Drink up the cider, George
Get up off me chest,
Drink up the cider, George
Its time you had a rest
There′s nothing like more cider
To make your smile get wider
And there's more cider in the west


Drink up the cider, drink up the cider
For to-night we′ll merry be
We'll knock the milkmaids over
And roll them in the clover
The corn′s half-cut and so are we
Drink up the cider, drink up the cider
For to-night we'll merry be
We'll knock the milkmaids over
And roll them in the clover
The corn′s half-cut and so are we

End
