about
This is a traditional pub-song, originally intended to be a cautionary tale of abstinence and abolition, it's far too fun to sing drunk.
lyrics
And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog.
All gone for beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin on the lassies drinkin' gin
Far across the western ocean I must wander.
Where is me hat, me noggin' noggin' hat?
All gone for me beer and tobacco
For there's holes in the crown and the brim is droopin' down
And me scalp is lookin' out for fairer weather.
Where is me shirt, me noggin' noggin' shirt?
All gone for beer and tobacco
For the collar is all wore and the front it is all tore
And the tails are lookin' out for fairer weather
Where are me pants, me noggin' noggin' pants?
All gone for beer and tobacco
For the knees have lots of wear and the seat it has a tear
And me arse is lookin' out for fairer weather
Where are me boots, me noggin' noggin' boots?
All gone for beer and tobacco
For the soles are near worn out and the heels are kicked about
And me toes are lookin' out for fairer weather.
Where is me gold, me noggin noggin gold?
All gone for beer and tobacco
For I spent all me loot in a house of ill repute
And me purse is lookin' out for fairer weather.
Where are me dogs, me salty salty dogs?
All gone for beer and tobacco
For I can't find my crew and I don't know what to do
And me ship is headed out for fairer weather.
Where is me crew, my noggin' noggin' crew?
They're all gone for beer and tobacco.
For me mates have gone ashore and we don't want 'em no more
And me Cap'n's lookin' out for fairer weather.
Well I'm sick in me head and I haven't been to bed
Since I came ashore with me plunder
I've seen centipedes and snakes and I'm full of pains and aches
So I guess I'll make a path for way out yonder
And it's all for me brew, me jolly, jolly brew
All for me tea and espresso
For if I don't get my caffeine I get weak and sick and mean,
And me mug is lookin' out for fairer weather
I brought me dogs, 3 parrots and a frog
Just to buy my dear a tall espresso
But they made such a din that they wouldn't let me in
So I had to stand outside and brave the weather.
Where is me mug, me coffee coffee mug
All for me tea and espresso
For the sides are stained with crud and the bottom's full of mud
And the handle's looking out for fairer weather.
I love me dogs, me silly goofy dogs
I love my Fenris and me Grendel
I like to play with me boys and to give them lots of toys
And I spoil them rotten like I do their mother
