Jug of Punch

Lyrics

[Verse 1] As I was sitting with a jug and spoon One sunny morning in the month of June A birdie sang in an ivy bunch And the song he sang was "The Jug of Punch" [Chorus] Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo [Refrain] A birdie sang in an ivy bunch And the song he sang was "The Jug of Punch" [Verse 2] What more diversion can a man desire Than to court a girl by a cheerful fire? A Kerry pippin to crack and crunch And on the table a jug of punch [Chorus] Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo [Refrain] A Kerry pippin to crack and crunch And on the table a jug of punch [Verse 3] Ye mortal lords, drink your nectar wine And ye quality folk, sip your claret fine I'd give them all the grapes in the bunch For a jolly pull at my jug of punch [Chorus] Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo [Refrain] I'd give them all the grapes in the bunch For a jolly pull at my jug of punch [Verse 4] Ye learned doctors, with all your art Cannot cure a depression on the heart But even a cripple forgets his hunch When he's snug outside of a jug of punch [Chorus] Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo [Refrain] But even a cripple forgets his hunch When he's snug outside of a jug of punch [Verse 5] And when I'm dead, and I'm in my grave No costly tombstone do I ever crave Just lay me down in my native peat With a jug of punch at my head and feet [Chorus] Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo [Refrain] Just lay me down in my native peat With a jug of punch at my head and feet [Outro] (Ooh, ooh)
