Finn, Me and Mcgee
Me un Finn came 'round
In what did we found
The Pub, wid a very large lock
Aye keep the key where no one cann see
Said our find mate, Erik McJock
So, let us awl in, out spurted Finn
Cus drinkin' is what were intendin'
Then McJock with wide eyes
Said out with a cry, "Ow much
You intend apon spendin' "
Well don't look at me
Said Wee luck Mcgee
I've been tapped out fur mo than a week
So I looked awl around and instinctively found
No one wanted teh speak
I said "Dats just fine"
And in lew of badd times
I reached for my purse at my side,
"Bot it 'ad large 'ole
Wer der money should go
So,I quess I'll be sayin Goodby"
"I say not so fast"
Came MacJocks voice alas
As he magically conjured da key
I'll bye you one drink, an don't be a Fink
"Cause dat awl you'd be gettin' for free
"You're a Lads lad " said Finn
As he barged 'is way in
Leadin' the mob to the bar
MacJock went 'round and set glasses down
Den Produced a very large jar
We all looked at da jar
Und we awl scratched our 'eads
In wonderin' what it moight be
Bot we was unable, for it hadn't a label
And it certainly was"t white tea
Den MacJock took the vessel
Und stringently wrestled
Da lid dat was on wicked toight
Und as we grew near, we awl shared da fear
Dat it moightn't be enought for da night
Bot MacJock Was agreeing
Da whot we were seein'
Was aged in an old crock
One of these be, equal to three
Of da best stuff 'e 'ad in stock
So MacJock poured the first
To quench old Finn's thirst
Then he poured one for me and the fellers
There in my ear he said it quiet clear
"I keep the best stuff down here in the cellar"
Finn was da first
For betta or worst
To shoot down the shot
'E was eye'n
Den Wee luk McGee
Said "As long as it's free
I don't mind a bit dat I'm try'n "
The other lads, now
Pressed a glass to dier brow
In salute to dier Patron MacJock
Dey den knocked dem awl back
Gave the bar a loud whack
While findin' it to 'ard teh talk
It went down quite easy
Din made us all queazy
And as soon as I was able teh speak
I ask Ol' MacJock
What da heck's in dat crock
As I stilt felt the flush in me cheeks
MacJock gave a laugh, in his chair he reeled back
And gave a good slap on his knee
Then turned to pour, each member one more
Which almost knocked over McGee
McGee started off
With a wee nervous cough
Din stuttered out a few words
"As long as you're buyin' Dere's no use denyin'
I must let a notch out me gird
We all stood there slapin'
McGees back and laughin'
As we slowly lifted our drinks
I'll make a grand toast
Said I to our 'ost
And gave old MacJock a wink
I said It is true
No utter wid do
Wot MacJock as dun fur us
So let's us salute
That big tall gallute
So din pour us another he must
Every time, dat he poured
There appeared a bit more
Of dat nectar, contained by the jar
Bot we didna take notice
Of the chance of sclerosis
There's no way we were leave'in da bar
MacJock kept on serving
Widout need of conserving
Dere seem to be plenty for awl
And he quickly would pour
Not a glass he'd ignored
When one of us lads made the call
