From the #bottomsup #skirmish Who doesn't like a rousing drinking song?
Demo to come!
Lyrics
I met Finn MacCool on the way to school Hey, ho, and bottoms up! He poured me a whisky in a cup of coffee Hey, ho, and bottoms up!
He said "Now me Paul I'll be climbing the wall" Hey ho, and bottoms up! "If I've no whisky to sup in me coffee cup!" Hey, ho, and bottoms up!
And it's hey and it's ho and it's bottoms up! Drink your whisky from a coffee cup
I met Paul Bunyan when I was out runnin' Hey, ho, and bottoms up! Drinking his rum from an old oil drum Hey, ho, and bottoms up!
He said "Little feller, please don't call me yeller" Hey, ho, and bottoms up! "Life just isn't fun without rum in a drum" Hey, ho, and bottoms up!
And it's hey and it's ho and it's bottoms up! Drink your rum from an old oil drum
I met my old priest (he was sober at least) Hey, ho, and bottoms up! He looked very worried as by me he hurried Hey, ho, and bottoms up!
He said, "Son I must run for a nice sacred bun" Hey, ho, and bottoms up! "It'll go down just fine with communion wine" Hey, ho, and bottoms up!
And it hey and it's ho and it's bottoms up! Feeling fine on communion wine
And it's hey and it's ho and it's bottoms up! And it's hey and it's ho and it's bottoms up! It's hey and it's ho and it's bottoms up.....! Drinking whisky from a coffee cup.

YESS!!!! I can't wait to hear the demo!
I was singing it this morning, can't wait to record it with some bells and whistles!

This one's ready for the pub. Good stuff and I appreciate your spelling of "whisky". Well done.
It's only scotch that's spelt an e, the Irish drink whisky too!

It has some sea shanty energy that I really love, even without the demo, it’s really catchy. Looking forward to hearing it.
Thanks, since I missed the skirmish deadline for the demo I'm going to put a bit more effort into it before I put it up, should be fun!

Great write, I enjoy you putting the chords up allowing me to sing through a version. Mos Def a pub tune. Looking forward to your melodies. Cheers!
Cheers! I'll try to get a demo up in the morning and it's late, and time for bed here 😀 Might have time for a little nightcap first 😆
