DRINKING SONG

WHENEVER ANY ONE IS MADE TO DRINK A SHOT OR CHUG A BEER, HE
RECEIVES IT ALONG WITH THIS SONG:
HERE'S TO (NAME), HE'S TRUE BLUE,
HE'S A DRUNKARD THROUGH AND THROUGH,
HE'S A DRUNKARD SO THEY SAY,
THOUGHT HE WENT TO HEAVEN BUT HE WENT THE OTHER WAY.
SO DRINK CHUG-A-LUG, CHUG-A-LUG, CHUG-A-LUG,
SO DRINK CHUG-A-LUG, CHUG-A-LUG, CHUG-A-LUG...
