There's a lovely drinking song


called A Jug of Punch.

Punch is made here in America,


apparently, with rum or something

like that.

But in Ireland,

it's naturally enough

made with Irish whiskey.

You have a glass and a spoon,

No, you don't need the cloves.

You don't really need the hot water,

either. but it's a lovely drink anyway

and this is a song

that an old man might sing in the evening

an old man whose whole life

had been sweetened

by the drinking of punch

and he sort of growls it out one

evening

It starts out very quietly and very poetically

and rapidly deteriorates

like a good night of drinking.

A jug of punch

when they're in tune.

should join

in the chorus of this song,


anybody who's ever tasted punch.

And now we're going to

do a pleasant evening

in the month of June,
