hooray for whiskey
santiano
me girls from the devil's crown
in the finest pub in town
i was just about to be heading when they passed the final round
the next thing i remember is waking on a ship
they took me out to shanghai on a trip
a penny for each time you stood by us
on our way back home i been left alone with the captain's last supplies
couldn't help it for me life
the next thing i remember
ten empty bottles floating next to me
a penny for each time you stood by us
i built me-self a raft and i paddled off
to an island somewhere close
was it destiny was it meant to be?
the island i got onto was a smuggler's hiding place
five empty bottles later i was saved
a penny for each time you stood by us
you'll never get me on that stinkin' ship all the way to bloody china
you'll have to fuckin' hit me over the head first
give me another bottle of whiskey
to you my friend we raise another glass
a penny for each time you stood by us
to you my friend we raise another glass
