《Water Is Alright In Tay》歌词

[00:00:00] The French drink wine the English tea

[00:00:05] The Yankee drinks his hot black coffee

[00:00:09] The child drinks milk nine times a day

[00:00:12] The Scotsman sips his whiskey toddy

[00:00:16] You can keep you wine and keep your tea

[00:00:20] My curse on him that gives me coffee

[00:00:23] I'll drink porter if I may

[00:00:26] It makes me feel content and happy

[00:00:28] Porter quaffed down with a laugh

[00:00:30] The gentry have their aching livers

[00:00:33] Water is all right in tea

[00:00:35] For fish and things that swim in rivers

[00:00:39] The poor man and the beggar too

[00:00:41] The poet in the corner thinking

[00:00:44] If they'd money enough to spend

[00:00:46] It's pints of porter they'd be drinking

[00:00:49] Porter quaffed down with a laugh

[00:00:51] The gentry have their aching livers

[00:00:53] Water is all right in tea

[00:00:56] For fish and things that swim in rivers

[00:00:59] The miser hoards and stores his gold

[00:01:02] The bee collects the summer honey

[00:01:04] When that miser's dead and cold

[00:01:06] Someone else will kiss his money

[00:01:08] Porter quaffed down with a laugh

[00:01:10] The gentry have their aching livers

[00:01:13] Water is all right in tea

[00:01:15] For fish and things that swim in rivers

[00:01:18] Some go in for counting beads

[00:01:21] More go in for chasing women

[00:01:24] The scholar stays at home and reads

[00:01:26] Give me the glass with porter in it

[00:01:28] Porter quaffed down with a laugh

[00:01:30] The gentry have their aching livers

[00:01:33] Water is all right in tea

[00:01:35] For fish and things that swim in rivers

[00:01:37] Porter quaffed down with a laugh

[00:01:39] The gentry have their aching livers

[00:01:42] Water is all right in tea

[00:01:45] For fish and things that swim in rivers
