General Guinness
(Trad)
(spoken: 'The Pig and the Inebriate')
It was the pig fair last September
The day I well remember
I was walking up and down in drunken pride
When my knees began to flutter
And I sank down in the gutter
And a pig came up and lay down by my side
As I lay there in the gutter
Thinking thoughts I could not utter
I thought I heard a passing lady say
You can tell the man who boozes
By the company that he chooses
And with that the pig got up and walked away

You've heard of General Wellington who won at Waterloo
But there's a good old Irishman I'll mention unto you
He comes from dear old Dublin he's a man we all applaud
For he always finds a corkscrew far more handy than a sword
He's good old General Guinness he's a soldier strong and stout
He's found on every bottlefront and he can't be done without
His noble name his worldwide fame deserve three hearty cheers
Hurrah for General Guinness of the Dublin Booziliers

This hale and hearty worrier is worshipped in the ranks
For he does his task inside the cask as well as in the tanks
And he bears the brunt on every front north south east and west
And he wears about ten million canteen medals on his chest
He is good old General Guinness he has won the world's applause
'Twas him who kept our spirits up in the midst of all our wars
Who was the first to flirt with Mademoiselle from Armentières
Why good old General Guinness of the Dublin Booziliers

All over bonnie Scotland too the General is seen
They've given him the Freedom of the Toon of Aberdeen
From Inverness to Galashiels he keeps them warm and bright
And they love to gather round him ach on every moonlit night
He's good old General Guinness he's as good as Scottish broth
'Twas him who turned the Firth of Forth into the Firth of Froth
All Scotsmen dance the Highland fling and shout when he appears
Hurrah for General Guinness of the Dublin Booziliers

(as sung by Boys of the Lough)
