SIPPING CIDER


The sweetest girl, I ever saw.
Sat sipping cider throug a staw oh oh, (oh oh to rhyme with straw)
The sweetest girl, I ever saw.
Sat sipping cider through a staw

I said, "fair miss, I you implore,
Why sip you cider through a straw oh oh?"
I said, "fair miss, I you implore,
Why sip you cider through a straw?"

She said to me, "There is no law,
'Gainst sipping cider through a straw oh oh"
She said to me, "There is no law,
'Gainst sipping cider through a straw"

Now cheek by cheek, and jaw by jaw,
We both sip cider through a straw oh oh,
Now cheek by cheek, and jaw by jaw,
We both sip cider through a straw.

And now I've got, a mother in law,
Through sipping cider through a straw oh oh
And now I've got, a mother in law,
Through sipping cider through a straw ^^^

A cautionary tale, as sung (if I remember correctly) by Nina & Frederick in the 1960s
