For down, down, down, down, Down in de bottom ob de glass, Dere's snakes an' bugs, an' dregs and drugs, Dat'll git you sure, at las', Down in de bottom ob de glass. 2 O de red looks great in de whiskey straight, But it don't look good on de nose; An' de mo' dat you wink, an' blink, an' drink, De redder an' redder it grows. For down, down, down, down, Down in de bottom ob de glass, Dere's snakes an' bugs, an' dregs and drugs, Dat'll git you sure, at las', Down in de bottom ob de glass. 3 O de foamy beer, it bring good cheer, An' it make you glad an' gladder; Till it pizen your hide, an' your whole inside, An' bloat you up like a bladder. For down, down, down, down, Down in de bottom ob de glass, Dere's snakes an' bugs, an' dregs and drugs, Dat'll git you sure, at las', Down in de bottom ob de glass. 4 You can sing an' laugh, as de wine you quaff, But you look out dar! by an' by It will run you down like an ole blood houn', An' leave you dar to die! For down, down, down, down, Down in de bottom ob de glass, Dere's snakes an' bugs, an' dregs and drugs, Dat'll git you sure, at las', Down in de bottom ob de glass.
