I ever saw (I ever saw)
Was sippin' ci- (was sippin' ci-)
Der thru a straw (der thru a straw)
Chorus: A repeat without refrain
I says to her
watcha doing that fur
A sippin' cider
thru a straw?
She says to me
Why don't you know
That sippin' cider's
all I know?
So cheek to cheek
and jaw to jaw
We sipped that cider
thru a straw.
Then all at once
that straw did slip
And I sipped cider
from her lip.
Now seventeen kids
all call me paw
From sippin' cider
from a straw.
That's how I got
my mother-in-law
From sippin' cider
from a straw.
The moral of
this little tale
Is sip your cider
from a pail.
