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
