      Come and listen, I'll tell you what happened to me
      One day as I went down to Cork by the sea
      The day it was hot and the sun it was warm,
      So says I a quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm

      I went in and I called for a bottle of stout
      Says the barman, I'm sorry, all the beer is sold out
      Try whiskey or paddy, ten years in the wood
      Says I, I'll try cider, I've heard it was good.

      Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again
      If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
      I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
      After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

      After downing the third I went out to the yard
      Where I bumped into Brody, the big civic guard
      Come here to me boy, don't you know I'm the law?
      Well, I up with me fist and I shattered his jaw

      He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up
      But it wasn't I hit him, 'twas Johnny Jump Up
      The next thing I remember down in Cork by the sea
      Was a cripple on crutches and says he to me

      I'm afraid of me life I'll be hit by a car
      Won't you help me across to the Celtic Knot Bar?
      After drinking a quart of that cider so sweet
      He threw down his crutches and danced on his feet

      Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again
      If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
      I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
      After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

      I went down the lee road, a friend for to see
      They call it the madhouse in Cork by the Sea
      Well when I got there, sure the truth I will tell,
      They had this poor bugger locked up in a cell

      Said the guard, testing him, say these words if you can
      Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran
      Tell him I'm not crazy, tell him I'm not mad
      It was only a sip of the bottle I had

      Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again
      If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
      I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
      After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

      A man died in the mines by the name of McNabb
      They washed him and laid him outside on the slab
      Well after the parlors measurements did take
      His wife brought him home to a bloody fine wake

      Twas about 12 o'clock and the beer was high
      The corpse sits up and says with a sigh
      I can't get to heaven, they won't let me up
      Til I bring them a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

      Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again
      If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
      I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
      After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

      So if ever you go down to Cork by the sea
      Stay out of the ale house and take it from me
      If you want to stay sane don't you dare take a sup
      Of that devil drink cider called Johnny Jump Up

      Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again
      If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
      I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
      After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

      Oh never, Oh never, Oh never again
      If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
      I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
      After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

(Of course Johnny Jump Up is a controlled substance so Hornsby blue
label is about as close as you can get)

(And of course, I only drink the stuff to observe tribal spiritual
traditions)
