The Fine of 1899

In 1899,

Grandpa Jiggsy had to pay a fine.

It was for a weird reason,

it could've been a bit more decent,

he had to pay it up

FOR SINGING!

Two dollars was a lot back then!

That peculiar event

happened at the bar!

The elder was completely drunk!

And so far,

this message has spreaded to every person, one and all...

"Never drink alcohol!"

Grandpa Jiggsy went robe!

The message has spreaded

around the globe!

Currently, everybody's using

their earlobe!

Oh dear! Use your ear, then you can hear...

"Never drink beer!"

Chorus:

Hi Ho, We'll never be drunk!

We'll never be drinking that horrible gunk!

If you do, when you sleep on the top bunk,

it won't hold your weight and you'll fall with a THUNK!

It happened in the past century,

and then it went a decade before that!

Never drink or smoke cigars!

Or else you'll see that you're so fat!

Because Grandpa Jiggsy had to pay a fine,

this thing made it go over the line!

He had to lose the cash

FOR SINGING!

Two dollars was a lot back then!

So I'll tell you all...

"Never drink alcohol!"

Chorus x 2
