I'll tell you a that happened to me One day as I went to Youghal by the Sea The sun it was bright and the day it was I, "A quiet pint wouldn't do me no harm"
I to the barman, I says, "Give me a stout" the barman, "I'm sorry all the beer tis out Try whiskey or vodka, ten in the wood" Says I, "I'll try cider, I heard it's good"
Oh never, oh never, oh again I to a hundred or a hundred and ten I to the ground and I couldn't get up After drinking a pint of the Jump Up
After the third I headed straight for the yard Where I into Brophy the big civic guard "Come to me boy you know we're the law" Well I upped my fist and I shattered his jaw
He fell to the with his knees crumpled up For t'wasnt I hit him t'was the jump And the next thing I met in Youghal by the Sea Was a on crutches, and says he to me
"I'm afraid o' me life be hit by a car you help me across to the Railwayman's Bar" And after three pints of cider so sweet He threw down his crutches and he danced on his
Oh never, oh never, oh never I live to a hundred or a and ten I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up After drinking a pint of the Johnny Up
Now I up the Lee Road a friend for to see They it the Madhouse in Cork by the Lee But when I got up there, the I do to tell had the poor bugger locked up in his cell
Says the guard testing him, "Say these if you can 'Around the rugged the ragged rascal ran'" "Tell them I'm not crazy, tell I'm not mad only six pints of that cider I had"
Now a man in the Union by the name of McNabb They washed him and him outside on a slab And after the his measurements did take His wife took him home to a fine wake
'Twas about o'clock and the beer it was high The corpse he sat up and he with a sigh I get to heaven, they won't let me up I bring them a pint of the Johnny Jump Up
Oh never, oh never, oh never If I live to a hundred or a and ten 'Cause I fell to the and I couldn't get up drinking a pint of the Johnny Jump Up (2x)
