    who would want a drop.
    If you want to treat your colleen,
    You neednt be surprised.
    For the whiskey that she'll give you,
    Is surely well baptized.

    There will be standing here from
    All parts,
    If your sweetheart you would treat,
    They'll come with cakes and sugarsticks,
    And other things to eat,
    You'll hear the women bawling,
    As you do pass them by
    If you want to fill your belly,
    Now is the time to try.

    So now to end my funny song,
    I hope next year you'll see,
    An increase of health and likewise
    Wealth and prosperity
    There is one advice Id give you,
    If you want to a lark,
    You should never kiss your sweetheart till you meet her
    In the dark.
