Thread Name: Origins: Here's to Good Old Beer, Drink It Down
Subject: RE: Origins: Here's to Good Old Beer, Drink It Down
My Dad, now over 90, used to sing:
Here's to the good old whisky, drink it down, down, down, (x2) Here's to the good old whisky, That makes you so frisky, Here's to the good old whisky, drink it down.
Chorus:
Drink it down, drink it down, By the light of the silvery moo-oo-oo-oon, Happy shall I be with the bottle on my knee, And the shadow of the glasses on the wall.
And many other verses about other alcoholic beverages, even though my Dad was not really a big drinker!
