Wylde Mountain Thyme
Oh the summertime is comin'
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather

Chorus:
Will ye go, lassie, go
And we'll all go together
To the wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather


Will ye go, lassie, go
I will build my love a bower
By yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain

Chorus

And if my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather

Chorus

pub sing Health To The Company
Kind friends and companions come join me in rhyme.
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine.
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
for we may and might never all meet here again.

Chorus:
So here's a health to the company, and one to my lass.
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass.
Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain.
For we may and might never all meet here again.


Well, here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well.
For style and for beauty, there are none can excel.
She smiles on my countenance as she sits on my knee;
sure there's no one on earth as happy as me.

Chorus

Our ship lies at harbor. she's ready to dock.
I wish her safe landing without any shock.
And if ever we meet again by land or by sea,
sure I'm always rememberin' your kindness to me.

Chorus (x3)

All For Me Grog
Chorus:
Well, it's all for me grog
Me jolly, jolly grog
Its all gone for beer and tobacco
For I spent up all me tin, on the lassies drinking gin
And across the western ocean I must wander.


Well, it's all for me hat
Me jolly, jolly hat,
Its all gone for beer and tobacco
For the brim is all worn out and the feather's kicked about
And me head is looking out for better weather

Chorus

Well, it's all for me shirt
Me jolly, jolly shirt
Its all gone for beer and tobacco
For the sleeves are all worn out, the lapel is kicked about
And me chest is looking out for better weather

Chorus

Well, it's all for me pants
Me jolly, jolly pants
Its all gone for beer and tobacco
For the legs are all worn out, and the cuffs are kicked about
And me arse is looking out for better weather

Chorus

Well, it's all for me bed
Me jolly, jolly bed
Its all gone for beer and tobacco
For I leant it to a whore, and she broke it to the floor
And the springs are looking out for better weather

Chorus

pub sing Charlie Mopps (Beer, beer, beer)
Beer, Beer, Beer, Tiddily Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer...

A long time ago, way back in history
When all there was to drink was nothing but cup of tea
A long came a man by the name of Charlie Mops
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.

Chorus:
Oh, he might have been an admiral, a sultan or a King
And to his praises we will always sing,
Look what he has done for us; he's filled our lives with cheer
The Lord bless Charlie Mops the man who invented beer.

Beer, Beer, Beer, Tiddily Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer...


A barrel of malt a bushel of hops you stir it around with a stick
The kind of lubrication that make your engine tick
Forty pints of wallop a day will keep away the cracks
It's only two and fifty pounds a pint, and five percent in tax!

Chorus

The White Heart, The Dragon Inn, the Royal Oak as well
One thing you can be sure of it's Charlie's beer they sell
Come on all ye lucky lads at eleven o'clock she stops
Five short seconds to remember Charlie Mops

(whisper count of five)

Chorus
Spanish Ladies
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we have received orders to sail to old England,
But we hope in a short time to see you again.

Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas;
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of old England:
From Ushant to Scilly 'tis thirty-five leagues.


Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou'-west, boys,
Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear;
Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, boys,
And straight up the Channel of old England did steer.

Chorus

So the first land we made it is called the Deadman,
Next Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and Wight;
We sailed by Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness,
And then bore away for the South Foreland light.

Chorus

Now let every man take off his full bumper,
Let every man take off his full bowl;
For we will be jolly and drown melancholy,
With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul.

Chorus

pub sing Loch Lomond
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
Where me and my true love were ever won't to gae
On the bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

Chorus:
O' ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the steep steep side o' Ben Lomond,
Where in deep purple hue, the Hieland hills we view,
And the moon coming out in the gloaming.

Chorus

The wee birdies sing, and the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,
But the broken heart will never know second spring again,
Though the woeful may cease for their greeting

Chorus

Old Dun Cow
Some friends and I in a public house
Was playing a game of chance one night
When into the pub a fireman ran
His face all a chalky white.
"What's up", says Brown, "Have you seen a ghost,
Or have you seen your Aunt Mariah?"
"Me Aunt Mariah be buggered!", says he,
"The bleedin' pub's on fire!"

Chorus

And there was Brown upside down
Lappin'' up the whiskey on the floor.
"Booze, booze!" The firemen cried
As they came knockin' on the door (clap clap)
Oh don't let 'em in till it's all drunk up
And somebody shouted MacIntyre! MACINTYRE!
And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk
When the Old Dun Cow caught fire.

"Oh well," says Brown, "What a bit of luck.
Everybody follow me.
And it's down to the cellar
If the fire's not there
Then we'll have a grand old spree."
So we went on down after good old Brown
The booze we could not miss
And we hadn't been there ten minutes or more
Till we were quite pissed.

Chorus

Then, Smith walked over to the port wine tub
And gave it just a few hard knocks (clap clap)
Started takin' off his pantaloons
Likewise his shoes and socks.
"Hold on, " says Brown, "that ain't allowed
Ya cannot do that thing here.
Don't go washin' trousers in the port wine tub
When we got Guinness beer."
Chorus

Then there came from the old back door
The Vicar of the local church.
And when he saw our drunken ways,
He began to scream and curse.
"Ah, you drunken sods! You heathen clods!
You've taken to a drunken spree!
You drank up all the Benedictine wine
And you didn't save a drop for me!"

Chorus

And then there came a mighty crash
Half the bloody roof caved in.
We were almost drowned in the firemen's hose
But still we were gonna stay.
So we got some tacks and some old wet sacks
And we nailed ourselves inside
And we sat drinking the finest Rum
Till we were bleary-eyed.

Chorus

**Later that night, when the fire burned out
We came up from the cellar below.
Our pub was burned. Our booze was drunk.
Our heads was hanging low.
"Oh look", says Brown with a look quite queer.
Seems something raised his ire.
"Now we gotta get down to Murphy's Pub,
It closes on the hour!"

**The Pyrates Royale's Captain Moone
(Brad lee Howard) should be credited as
writer of this last line of the song although
many other groups perform it, he is rarely
given credit for it! Huzzzah Mighty Cap'n!


Chorus

pub sing
pub sing Johnny Jump-Up
I'll tell you a story that happened to me
One day as I went out to Youghal by the sea
The sun it was bright, and the day it was warm
Says I "A quick pint wouldn't do any harm"
I went in to the barman and said give me a stout
Says the barman,"I'm sorry the beer's all sold out
Try whiskey, or Vodka, ten years in the wood"
Says I, "I'll try cider; I've heard that it's good."

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

After lowerin' the third I headed straight for the yard
Where I bumped into Brophy the big civic guard;
"Come 'ere to me boy don't you know I'm the law?"
Well I upped with me fist and I shattered his jaw.
Well he fell to the ground with his knees doubled up
'Twas not I that hit him, but Johnny Jump-Up
Chorus

The next thing that I met down by Youghal by the Sea
Was a cripple on crutches and says he to me
"I'm afraid for me life I'll be hit by a cart
Won't you help me across to the big city bar?"
But after three pints of that cider so sweet
He threw down his crutches and danced in the street.

Chorus

Well I went down the Lee road a friend for to see,
They call it the Madhouse in Cork by the Sea
But when I got there sure the truth I will tell
They had the poor bugger locked up in a cell
Said the guard, testing him, "Say these word if you can:
'Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran."
Chorus

"Tell them I'm not crazy, tell them I'm not mad
'Twas only six pints of that cider I had.
A man died in the Union by the name of McNabb
They washed him, they laid him outside on a slab
And after the coroner his measurements did take
His wife took him home for a bloody fine wake
Well, about twelve o'clock and the beer it was high
The corpse he sits up and says he with a sigh
"I can't get to heaven, they won't let me up
'Till I bring them a pint of the Johnny Jump-Up

What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
What'll we do with a drunken sailor,
Earl-aye in the morning?

Chorus:
Way hay and up she rises (x3)
Earl-aye in the morning

1. Put him in the long boat till he's sober,

2. Keep him there and make 'im bale 'er.

3. Shave his belly with a rusty razor.

4. Put him in bed with the captain's daughter.

pub sing Scarborough Faire
Are you going to Scarborough Faire?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lived there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Have her make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Without no seams, nor fine needle work.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Gather it up in a basket of flowers
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Have her wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where water ne'er sprung, nor drop of rain fell.
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to to find me an acre of land.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea foam and over the sand.
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Plow the land with the horn of a lamb.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Then sow some seeds from north of the dam.
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Have her reap it with a sickle of leather.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Gather it up in a bunch of heather.
Then she'll be a true love of mine

If she tells me she can't, then I'll reply.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Let me know, that at least she will try.
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Love imposes impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Though not more than any heart asks.
And I must know she's true love of mine

When thou has finished thy task.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Come to me my hand for to ask.
For then you'll be a true love of mine

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

Chorus:
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?


We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.

Chorus

We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

Chorus

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
