It was a night, me girls, from The Devil's Crown, in the finest pub in town
I was just about to be heading when I pa**ed the final row
The next thing I remember is waking on a ship
They took me out to Shanghai on a trip
Hooray for whiskey (whiskey)
Oh for whiskey (whiskey)
A penny for each time you stood by us
Hooray for whiskey (whiskey)
Oh for whiskey (whiskey)
To you, me friend, we raise another gla**
On our way back home
I been left alone with the captain's last supplies
I took just a sip, just a tiny bit
Couldn't help it for me life
The next thing I remember, they threw me in the sea
Ten empty bottles floating next to me
Hooray for whiskey (whiskey)
Oh for whiskey (whiskey)
A penny for each time you stood by us
Hooray for whiskey (whiskey)
Oh for whiskey (whiskey)
To you, me friend, we raise another gla**
I built meself a raft and I paddled of
To an island somewhere close
Was it destiny? Was it meant to be?
Couldn't tell ya, lads, who knows
The island I got onto was a smuggler's hiding place
Five empty bottles later I was saved
Hooray for whiskey (whiskey)
Oh for whiskey (whiskey)
A penny for each time you stood by us
Hooray for whiskey (whiskey)
Oh for whiskey (whiskey)
To you, me friend, we raise another gla**
You'll never get me on that stinkin' ship all the way to bloody China
You'll have to f**in' hit me oerv the head first
Hey, come on, lads, give me another bottle of whiskey
To you, me friend, we raise another gla**
Hooray for whiskey (whiskey)
Oh for whiskey (whiskey)
A penny for each time you stood by us
Hooray for whiskey (whiskey)
Oh for whiskey (whiskey)
To you, me friend, we raise another gla**
To you, me friend, we raise another gla**
