The Kingston Trio
Jug of Punch
[Verse 1]
As I was sitting with a jug and spoon
One sunny morning in the month of June
A birdie sang in an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was "The Jug of Punch"
[Chorus]
Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo
Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo
[Refrain]
A birdie sang in an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was "The Jug of Punch"
[Verse 2]
What more diversion can a man desire
Than to court a girl by a cheerful fire?
A Kerry pippin to crack and crunch
And on the table a jug of punch
[Chorus]
Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo
Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo
[Refrain]
A Kerry pippin to crack and crunch
And on the table a jug of punch
[Verse 3]
Ye mortal lords, drink your nectar wine
And ye quality folk, sip your claret fine
I'd give them all the grapes in the bunch
For a jolly pull at my jug of punch
[Chorus]
Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo
Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo
[Refrain]
I'd give them all the grapes in the bunch
For a jolly pull at my jug of punch
[Verse 4]
Ye learned doctors, with all your art
Cannot cure a depression on the heart
But even a cripple forgets his hunch
When he's snug outside of a jug of punch
[Chorus]
Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo
Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo
[Refrain]
But even a cripple forgets his hunch
When he's snug outside of a jug of punch
[Verse 5]
And when I'm dead, and I'm in my grave
No costly tombstone do I ever crave
Just lay me down in my native peat
With a jug of punch at my head and feet
[Chorus]
Too-ra, loo-ra, loo, toora-loora-loo
Toora-loora-loo, toora-loora-loo
[Refrain]
Just lay me down in my native peat
With a jug of punch at my head and feet
[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh)
