[Verse 1]
One night when I was frisky
On too much potent whisky
Like waves on the Bay of Biscay
I began to tumble and roar

[Verse 2]
My face was red as a lobster
I fell and broke my poor nob, sir
My watch from my fob was picked, sir
I'll never get drunk anymore

[Verse 3]
Now I'm resolved to try it
I'll live on a moderate diet
I'll not drink, but I'll deny it
And I shun the alehouse door

[Verse 4]
For that is where they tell us
He meet all the jolly good fellas
But I by the poker and bellows
I'll never get drunk anymore
