ALL FOR ME GROG

Chorus:
It's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog.
All gone for beer and tobacco.
Well I spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin.
Now across the Western Ocean I must wander.

And where is me shirt, me noggin' noggin' shirt?
All gone for beer and tobacco.
Well the collar's all worn out and the buttons knocked about,
And the tails are hanging out for better weather.

(Chorus)

And where are me boots, me noggin' noggin' boots?
All gone for beer and tobacco.
Well the soles are all worn out and the heels are knocked about,
And me toes are hanging out for better weather.

(Chorus)

And where are me pants, me noggin' noggin' pants?
All gone for beer and tobacco.
Well the cuffs are all worn out and the seat is knocked about,
And me arse is hanging out for better weather.

(Chorus)

And where is me bed, me noggin' noggin' bed?
All gone for beer and tobacco.
Well I lent it to a whore, now the mattress is all tore,
And the springs are looking out for better weather.

(Chorus)

There's pains in me head, and I haven't been to bed
Since first I came ashore with me plunder.
I've seen centipedes and snakes, now I've lots of pains and aches.
Guess I'll have to take another trip out yonder.

(Chorus)
