•"IF" ll' the deep blue sea were whiskyi Would it be worth while to drown To experience the glad lecling Of such nectar gurgling down. Had its element been whisky Would, the whale have had the heart To tell jettisoned Jonah The. best of friends must part. Had the Dover Straits been whisky Would there have been a Waterloo? Methinks all Frenchmen"s noses And the British noses too Would have formed a coalition Of ultra-marine blue. Lord Nelson at Trafalgar With the glass to his blind eye. Would have signalled splice the main brace — When ere your feeling dry. Tom Bowling would have piped all hands To join him up aloft — To toast old England's hero Ah many's the time and oft. '•Scotch mist" and Irish Potheen Sandy and Pat declare Are- joy juices that are Avorthy Of the famous names Ihey bear. The unbiased opinion Of tolerant John Bull Is both can make a man believe' He's happy when lie's full. If the seven seas had been whisk\ Sez 1 to you. sez I — The whole wide world by this time Would, have been drained bone dry 11. SHIiCiANT
