And coino drink because they are too hot; some drink because

they're cold;

Some drink to strengthen them when young, and some when they

Some drink to celebrate some gaia; some drink to mourn a loss; Some taken shot when they are pleased; some drink because

they're cross;

Some take a snort when they're at work; some drink when

they're at play

Some count it right to drink at night; some drink alone at day; Some tip the glass for fellowship; some sneak it on the sly; Some drink when they are wringing wet; some drink because

they're dry;

Some take a shot of liquor when they make a bargain rare; Some take a drink when they've been stung for the drinks, the

feed and faro;

Some drink in search of pleasure; some drink to dim a pain; Some say it's good, some say it's bad, but never once refrain; But all must own the proverb's right-When the iron's hot

then strike it;"

Ah, I've found the reason why men drink ALLSOPP'S-thay
