Hi - I think this is closer to the real lyrics :



Drink up thy zider George, pass us round the mug

Drink up thy zider George, the garden's ver'nigh dug

Thy cheeks bin gettin' redder

From Charter'ouse to Cheddar

An' there's still more zider in the jug 



(Chorus)

Drink up thy zider, Drink up thy zider,

For tonight we'll merry be

We'll knock the milk churns over

And roll 'em in the clover

For the corn's 'alf-cut and so be we!



Drink up thy zider George, thee bissn't goin' far

Drink up thy zider George, thee's gettin' quite a star

There's dung o'er all thy tat'ers

An' 'alfway up thy gaiters

An' there's still more zider in the jar!



(Repeat chorus)



Drink up thy zider George, get up off thick mat

Drink up thy zider George, put on thy girt big 'at

We'm off to Barrow Gurney

For to see my brother Ernie

An' there's still more zider in the vat!



(Repeat chorus)



Drink up thy zider George, 'tis time we 'ad a rest

Drink up thy zider George, the finest ever pressed

There's nothing like good cider

To make your smile grow wider

An' there's still more zider in the West!



(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat chorus)
