Sippin' Cider
The cutest boy
I ever saw
Was sippin’ cider
Through a straw
The cutest boy I ever saw,
Was sippin’ cider through a straw
I asked him if
He’d show me how
To sip some cider
Through a straw
I asked him if he’d show me how,
To sip that cider through a straw
So cheek to cheek
And jaw to jaw
We’d sip that cider
Through a straw
So cheek to cheek and jaw to jaw
We’d sip that cider through a straw
And now and then
That straw would slip
And we’d sip cider
Lip to lip
And now and then the straw would slip
And we’d sip that cider lip to lip
That’s how I got
My mother-in-law
And 49 kids
Who call me maw

And 49 kids who call me maw
The moral of

Do not sip cider
….drink root beer!
