The prettiest girl
I ever saw
Was sippin' cider
Through a straw

The prettiest girl I ever saw
Was sippin' cider through a straw

I asked her if
She'd teach me how
To sip some cider
Through a straw
I asked her if she'd reach me how
To sip some cider through a straw

First cheek to cheek
Then jaw to jaw
We sipped that cider
Through a straw
First cheek to cheek, then jaw to jaw
We sipped that cider through a straw

And now and then
That straw did slip
And we'd sip cider
Lip to lip
And now and then that straw did slip
And we'd sip cider lip to lip

And now I've got
A mother-in-law
And nineteen kids
That call me "Paw"
And now I've got a mother-in-law
And nineteen kids that call me "Paw"

The moral of
This little tale
Is sip your cider
Through a pail
The moral of this little tale
Is sip your cider through a pail
