CHORUS

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

Make you want to holler hi-de-ho

Burns your tummy, don'tcha know

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug



Grape wine in a Mason jar

Homemade and brought to school

By a friend of mine 'n' after class

Me and him and this other fool decide that we'll drink up what's left

Chug-a-lug, so we helped ourself

First time for everything

Mm, my ears still ring



CHORUS



4-H and FFA on a field trip to the farm

Me 'n' a friend sneak off behind

This big old barn where we uncovered a covered-up moonshine still

And we thought we'd drink our fill

And I swallered it with a smile

*Bllll-bbbb*, I run ten mile



CHORUS



Jukebox 'n' sawdust floor

Sumpin' like I ain't never seen

And I'm just going on fifteen

But with the help of my finaglin' uncle I get snuck in

For my first taste of sin.

I said "Lemme have a big old sip"

*Bllll-bbbb*, I done a double back flip



CHORUS



TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: *Bllll-bbbb* is impossible to spell. It's a ululation of the lips and

tongue similar to a "raspberry."
