Drink Up Thee Cider

And I quote:

DRINK UP THEE CIDER

Drink up thee cider George, pass me round the mug

Drink up thee cider George, thy garden's well nigh dug

There's dung all o'er thy taters and half up thy gaters

And there's still more cider in the jug

Chorus:

Drink up thee cider, drink up the cider

For tonight we'll merry be

We'll roll the milk churns over and roll them in the clover

The corn's half cut and so be we

Drink up thee cider George, bisn't goin' far

Drink up thee cider George, he's gettin' quite a star

His cheeks are gettin' redder, from charter house to cheddar

And there's still more cider in the jar

Chorus

Drink up thee cider George; get up off the mat

Drink up thee cider George, put on thy great big hat

We're goin' to Barrow Gurney to see me cousin Ernie

And there's still more cider in the bath

Chorus

Drink up thee cider George, get up off me chest

Drink up thee cider George it's time you had a rest

There's nothing like more cider to make your smile grow wider

And there's still more cider in the West

Chorus

Chorus

Its tatooed on my guts you know.

Please save this or print it off to stop the bloody awful mumbling as we go out from those that don't quite know the words.

Thank you

Uncle Rog :)

A correction...

Chorus:

Drink up thee cider, drink up thee cider

For tonight we'll merry be

We're going down the Rovers to do the bastards over

There's still more cider in the jug

What is this? Shakespeare or Cutler?

Drink Up Thy Zider was what I was always told. None of this "Thee Cider" milarkey.

Think I'm with Uncle Rog on this. Having seen Adge and the Wurzels playing live at St Mathias Teacher Training College I am sure it's drink up thee cider ( although it always sounded like dee cider to me)

Talking of the Wurzels, do any of you old timers remember Adge and the boys playing Drink Up Thee Cider live on the pitch before a game/at half time? I have a recollection of this - it would have been late '60's - but the mind plays tricks when you get to my age!

Off on a footy tour to the Algarve on Friday and trying to sort out songsheets, does anyone know or know where I can find the full lyrics to "Drink Up Thee Cider" ?

Tried all the lyric sites and only come up with "Blackbird" , "Combine Harvester" and "I Am The Cider Drinker" all of which are already on the sheet.

Thanks so much in advance.

Drink Up Thy Zider.

Drink up thy zider George, pass us round the mug

Drink up thy zider George, the garden's ver'nigh dug

Thy cheeks bin gettin' redder

From Charter'ouse to Cheddar

An' there's still more zider in the jug

(Chorus)

Drink up thy zider, Drink up thy zider,

For tonight we'll merry be

We'll knock the milk churns over

And roll 'em in the clover

For the corn's 'alf-cut and so be we!

Drink up thy zider George, thee bissn't goin' far

Drink up thy zider George, thee's gettin' quite a star

There's dung o'er all thy tat'ers

An' 'alfway up thy gaiters

An' there's still more zider in the jar!

(Repeat chorus)

Drink up thy zider George, get up off thick mat

Drink up thy zider George, put on thy girt big 'at

We'm off to Barrow Gurney

For to see my brother Ernie

An' there's still more zider in the vat!

(Repeat chorus)

Drink up thy zider George, 'tis time we 'ad a rest

Drink up thy zider George, the finest ever pressed

There's nothing like good cider

To make your smile grow wider

An' there's still more zider in the West!

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

Enjoy bemusing the locals..............

And sorry Malone, this is the definitive version.
