the jolly rogers - the bucket lyrics

in a pub they called the bucket in an alley off main street
that is where my mates and i would always go to meet
i haven’t seen a port for at least six months or more
but it’s the first place i was headed when my feet they hit the shore
as i came around the corner i could see the windows shake
and the music it got louder, till the ground began to quake
as i threw the door open, i knew it had been too long
since i had seen all my old friends and joined them in our song

[chorus]
drink up the porter, drink up the beer
don’t waste time a+toastin’ just givе us a cheer!
drink up the whiskey, drink up the ryе
our raucous laughter will raise the rafters
we won’t be leavin’ until we’re heavin’
or we drink the whole place dry!
well our song it just got louder as the bar began to fill
and we drank and ate and sang and never thought about the bill
as dust fell from the rafters and the walls began to creek
and the bottles started shaking as the song had reached its peak
someone shouted “one more time!” and our song began again
and with more voices joining in our song would never end
then above the raucous singing we could hear the timbers crack
just like that old public house had started singing back

[chorus]
drink up the porter, drink up the beer
don’t waste time a+toastin’ just give us a cheer!
drink up the whiskey, drink up the rye
our raucous laughter will raise the rafters
we won’t be leavin’ until we’re heavin’
or we drink the whole place dry!

the windows they all shattered and the bar began to shake
and the barkeep ran for cover as we watched the bottles break
the walls began to crumble and the floor began to sway
the timbers they all splintered as the ceiling it gave way
well the town it came a running, shocked by what met their eyes
where once there stood a lovely pub a mound of rubble lies
as the dust and smoke it settled, you could hear a distant chime
and from beneath the rubble they heard “right then! one more time!”
[chorus]
drink up the porter, drink up the beer
don’t waste time a+toastin’ just give us a cheer!
drink up the whiskey, drink up the rye
our raucous laughter will raise the rafters
we won’t be leavin’ until we’re heavin’
or we drink the whole place dry!

drink up the porter, drink up the beer
don’t waste time a+toastin’ just give us a cheer!
drink up the whiskey, drink up the rye
our raucous laughter will raise the rafters
we won’t be leavin’ until we’re heavin’
we won’t be truckin’ until we’re chuckin’
we won’t be movin’ until we’re spewin’
we won’t be goin’ until we’re blowin’
we’re not packin’ until we’re yackin’
or we drink the whole place dry!
