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, get up off the mat

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.
