[Verse 1]
CAt the pub at the crossroads there's whFiskey and Cbeer
CThere's brandy, strong cognac that's agGing for Cyears
CBut for killing the thirst and for eFasing the Cgout
CThere's nothing at all beats Ga pint of good stout
[Chorus]
CDrink it up men it's lGong after Cten
[Verse 2]
CAt the pub on the crossroads FI first weCnt astray
CThere I drank enough drink for to Gfill GalwaCy Bay
CGoing up in the morning I woFre out me Cshoes
CGoing up to the cross for thGe best of good booze
[Chorus]
Drink Cit up men it's Glong afCter ten
[Verse 3]
CSome folk's o'er the water thiFnk bitteCr is fine
CAnd others the swear by the juGice of the Cvine  
CBut there's nothing that's squeezed from the Fgrape or the Chop
CLike the black liquidation with thGe froth on the top
[Chorus]
Drink it up Cmen it'Gs long afCter ten
[Verse 4]
CI've travelled in England, I've FtravelleCd in France
At the Csound of good music I'll sGing or I'll dCance
CSo hear me then mister anFd pour me Cone more
CIf I can't drink it up, then thrGow me out the door
[Chorus]
CDrink it up men it's Glong afCter ten
[Verse 5]
CIt's Guinness's porter that hFas me this Cway
CFor it's sweeter than buttermilk and sGtronger then Ctea
CAnd when in the morning I fFeel kind a Crough
N.C.
Me curse on lord Iveagh who brews the damn stuff
[Chorus]
CDrink it up men itG's long afCter ten
CDrink it up men it'Gs long afCter ten
