Thread Name: Origin: Sipping Cider Through a Straw
Subject: Lyr Add: sippin cider through a straw
We had a lot of fun singing this song in 5th grade, but it was a little different. Had a few more verses, can't remember all. Here's what I remember:

SIPPIN' CIDER THROUGH A STRAW

Oh the prettiest girl (Oh the prettiest girl)
I ever done saw (I ever done saw)
Was sippin' ci- (was sippin ci-)
Der through a straw (der through a straw)

Oh the prettiest girl I ever done saw
Was sipping cider through a straw.(altogether)


[Another verse I don't remember -- not the one on DT. Something to do with two straws in one glass???]


Well she sipped first
And I sipped last
But she sipped the most
Cause she sipped so fast!


First cheek to cheek
Then jaw to jaw
We sipped our ci-
Der through a straw.


And now and then
That straw would slip
Then we'd sip our ci-
Der lip to lip.


And now I've got
A mother-in-law
And fourteen kids
Who call me 'Paw'


The moral of
this story clear
Is don't sip ci-
Der just sip beer!
