'Tis daily this baste	A
Will prosade to the fayste	A
The best that Ould Oireland has seen	B
The P's are but three	C
But they're plenty for me	C
The Pratie the Pig the Poteen	B
	-
The Pratie in place	D
Has an iligant face	D
That my mouth opens wide to let in	B
But like Widow Machree	C
He's so glad to see me	C
That he laughs himself out of his shkin	B
He's so round and so square	C
As he laughs at me there	C
That he looks loike my brother I ween	B
Then I put him to cool	E
On the top of a shtool	E
Till I take a wee drop of Poteen	B
Then I put him to cool	E
On the top of a shtool	E
Till I take a wee drop of Poteen	B
	-
But gourmands ahoy	F
The Pig is the Boy	F
Indade he's the girl to my taste	A
The form is so nate	A
The lip is so swate	A
That I kape her quite close to my waist	A
But no cannibal I	G
When I look in her eye	G
The loikes to my sister is seen	B
So I piously pause	H
In the work of my jaws	H
Till I take a wee drop of Poteen	B
So I piously pause	H
In the work of my jaws	H
Till I take a wee drop of Poteen	B
	-
Lave the Pratie to cool	E
On the top of the shtool	E
While we master this question of shtate	A
Shall I ate Shall I swig	I
Musht Poteen or the Pig	I
Be the first or the last on my plate	A
Now my grandfather's ghost	A
Appears at this post	A
So solemn so awful in mien	B
To assist and debate	A
This question of shtate	A
On the subject of Pork and Poteen	B
	-
So he called for his mug	J
And I gave him the jug	J
Which he placed at his delicate mouth	K
And he drank it all down	B
Down down Derry down	B
He had such a terrible drouth	K
Then with jug held on high	G
And Poteen in his eye	G
He says this good ghost says to me	C
Hist Hist Patrick hist	A
And hould ye your whist	A
While I shpake out this Scripture to thee	C
	-
'Tis Hibernian Law	E
That for Oireland's ould jaw	E
If at pig faystes you ate shpake or swig	I
If you have a great mind	A
You surely will find	A
The Poteen's the best part of the Pig	I
'Tis Hibernian Law	E
That for Oireland's ould jaw	E
If at pig faystes you ate shpake or swig	I
If you have a great mind	A
You surely will find	A
The Poteen's the best part of the Pig	I
	-
So since that great day	A
Or that night I may say	A
I cook nothing else for to ate	A
By the hole o' my coat	A
It bates Houlahan's goat	A
In putting Pat off of his fate	A
So for Erin go bragh	C
'Tis both Gospel and Law	E
For to ate or to shpake or to swig	I
If you have a great mind	A
You surely will find	A
The Poteen's the best part of the pig	I
The Poteen's the best part of the pig	I
