Jakey S Gin lyrics

When I was a young man I was let 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

[Chorus:]

Drink `er up boys its well after ten
Drink `er up boys its well after ten. [Repeat]

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]

Its 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 2x]
