Pulling some verses together (whether 'remembered' or newly written), and standardising the layout:
The Drinking's Nae For You
O the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-o,
O the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-o,
Ye got hame at half past three and ye hadnae had yer tea
Ye were sick all over me, bonnie laddie-o.
O the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-o,
O the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-o,
Ye walked hame at half a tilt and yer beer all was spill't
And ye hadnae on yer kilt, my bonnie laddie-o
O the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-o,
O the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-o,
Ye have trouble in the night 'cause ye cannae find the light
And the toilets on the right,- bonnie laddie-o
O, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
To the barmaid you did speak, and some part of her did tweak
And your case comes up next week, my bonnie laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
Yer nose is glowin' red, ye should stick ta tea instead
It wouldna mak ye pee the bed, my bonnie laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
Ye were drinkin' beer and whisky, An' were ye not quite so frisky
Ye'd hae thought that jump tae risky bonnie laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
Ye was so drunk ye couldna tell, there wasnae water in the well
Noo ye stink like ******* hell, me bonny laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
Oh, the drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
So we held on tae oor nose, while we washed ye with the hose,
Noo ye smell jist like a rose, me bonnie laddie-oh
You should nae be drinking shorts, bonnie laddie-oh!
Vodkas, whiskies, gins or ports, bonnie laddie-oh.
They are much too strong for you. They may make you call for Hugh!
You should stick to Irn Bru my bonnie laddie-oh
Heavy drinking's nae for you, my bonnie laddie-oh
You should stick to one or two, my bonnie laddie-oh
If ye stretch to three or four, or, heaven help us, more
Ye'll be stretched out on the floor My bonnie laddie-oh.
