Verse
1]
Drink up the cider George, pass me round the jug
Drink up the cider George, I have an empty mug
The night is almost over but you see that we're still sober
And there's still more cider in the jug.
Chorus
Drink up the cider, drink up the cider
For tonight we'll merry be
We'll knock the milkmaids over and roll them in the clover
The corn's half cut and so are we.
Verse
2]
Drink up the cider George, thee's been goin' far
Drink up the cider George, thee's gettin' quite a star
Thy cheeks are getting redder, from Charthouse to Cheddar
And there's still more cider in the jar.

Drink up the cider George, put on thy great big hat
We're going to borrow Gerdie, to see me brother Ernie
And there's still more cider in the vat
Verse
4]
Drink up the cider George, get up off me chest
Drink up the cider George, it's time you had a rest
There's nothin' like more cider, to make your smile get wider
And there's still more cider in the west.
