HERE'S TO THE GROG





I've got a coat and a nobby, nobby coat

I've got a coat a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the sides are near wore out and the back is flying about

And the lining's looking out for better weather



Here's to the grog, boys, the jolly, jolly grog

Here's to the rum and tobacco

I've a-spent all my tin with the lassies drinking gin

And to cross the briny ocean I must wander



I've got me breeches, me nobby, nobby breeches

I've got breeches a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the pouch is near wore out and the seat's all flying about

And me knees are looking out for better weather



CHORUS

I've got me shirt, me nobby, nobby shirt

I've got a shirt a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the collar's near wore out and the sleeves are flying about

And me tail's looking out for better weather



CHORUS



I've got me boots, me nobby, nobby shirt

I've got boots a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the bottom's near wore out and the heals flying about

And me toes are looking out for better weather



CHORUS



I've got a tile, a nobby, nobby tile

I've got a tile a-seen a lot of rough weather

For the brim it is wore out and the crown is flying about

And the lining's looking out for better weather



CHORUS
