Gin.... Apparently!

He’s turned up today with a new song. Transpires someone was talking to him about the place of satirical art throughout history and William Hogarth was mentioned.His immediate reaction? Write a song about gin!He also turned up with "some inspiration" as seen in the photo. Apparently it's supposed to be drunk out of a teacup.The man’s an idiot.

Here’s To Gin (The Gin Song)

There's a drink that I'm loving

A fine cup of something

It's bitter and sweet and it's clear

It's a friend and a lover

A fool and a bugger

Drink it straight or deliciously queer It'll ruin your mother

And mess up your brother

This spirit unites young and old

Take care when you drink it

Sip, glug or sink it

The damage it's done is untold

The damage it's done is untold

Here's to Gin (Gin!) and the trouble she brings

The gateway to all of the best sinful things

She'll liven the nightIf the comp'ny's alright

You'll be dancing whilst everyone sings

Here's to Gin (Gin!) and the trouble she brings

To paupers, whores, thieves and kings

She'll go down so slick

She'll be back up as quick

You'll be dancing whilst everyone sings

(Dancing whilst everyone sings)

You can drink it at home

Whilst you're sitting alone

You can drink it with friends at the "Cocks"

You can down a whole jar

With old men from afar

At the salty end down on the docks Whether Bombay or Gordons

Or Tankeray, Warners

Or boiled in your very own still

Drink it neat or with tonic

The next day is chronic

When you're feeling unbearably ill

(You'll be feeling unbearably ill)

Here's to Gin (Gin!) and the trouble she brings

The gateway to all of the best sinful things

She'll liven the nightIf the comp'ny's alright

You'll be dancing whilst everyone sings

Here's to Gin (Gin!) and the trouble she brings

To paupers, whores and thieves and kings

She'll go down so slick

She'll be back up as quick

You'll be dancing whilst everyone sings

(Dancing whilst everyone sings)
