When [C]I was a young man I [F]was let as[C]tray
I [C]met with a [F]body down [G]in Logy [C]Bay
We [C]went out in a [F]weather, we wore out our [C]shoe,
And [C]up Kingsway [F]road for a [G]drink or [C]two
Chorus: [C] [F] [C]
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten
Drink 'er [C]up boys its [F]well after [C]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
[CHORUS]
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
[CHORUS]
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
[CHORUS X 2]
(Some doubt as to the exact chord progression in lines 3 and 4 of each verse,
but it's something tpo start from)
