Johnny's Grog

Intro

Hey! Hey! Yo-Ho!

Haul away, me boys, haul away!

Verse 1

Rolled into the tavern

Boots caked in sludge

Barmaid called me Johnny

Before I raised me mug

Pockets full of nothing

Just holes and salt

She laughed and tapped the keg

Said, Johnny! I can't be bought

Chorus

So I sang for me grog

(Sang for me grog!)

Sang for me grog

(Sang for me grog!)

Every soul in the place

Pitched a coin in me mug

I belted out a shanty

(Heave! Ho!)

I belted out a rhyme

(Heave! Ho!)

Then the whole damn tavern

Bought me grog,

Yea, they bought me, me grog!

Post-Chorus

Yo ho, Johnny's got his booze

Yo ho, Johnny's got his booze

Hey! Hey! Hey-oh!

Verse 2

A sailor slammed his tankard

Said lad that tune's a hoot

The cook she tossed a piece of eight

The captain tossed his hook

Soon the room started to shake

Boots drumming out the beat

Strangers roarin' me song

Chorus

So I sang for me grog

(Sang for me grog!)

Sang for me grog

(Sang for me grog!)

Every soul in the place

Pitched a coin in me mug

I belted out a shanty

(Heave! Ho!)

I belted out a rhyme

(Heave! Ho!)

Then the whole damn tavern

Bought me grog,

Yea, they bought me, me grog!

Bridge

Sing it loud sing it proud

Sing it till the rafters blow

Sing it loud sing it low

Johnny's never leavin' broke

Chorus

So I sang for me grog

(Sang for me grog!)

Sang for me grog

(Sang for me grog!)

Every soul in the place

Pitched a coin in me mug

I belted out a shanty

(Heave! Ho!)

I belted out a rhyme

(Heave! Ho!)

Then the whole damn tavern

Bought me grog,

Yea, they bought me, me grog!

Post-Chorus

Yo ho, Johnny's got a drink!

(DRINK IT!)

Yo ho, Johnny had a drink!

(DRINK IT!)

Yo ho, Johnny's kinda drunk!

(DRINK IT!)

HEY! (Yo-Ho!)

HEY! (Yo-Ho!)

DRINK IT DOWN Johnny!

Johnny! DRINK IT DOWN!

HEY! HEY! HEY-OH!

BURN THE TAVERN DOWN!

HEY! HEY! HEY-OH!

JOHNNY OWNS THE TOWN!
