Pour into a tall glass and top up with soda. Add a slice of lemon. Scotch Drink Gie him strong Drink until he wink, That’s sinking in despair; An’ liquor guid, to fire his bluid, That’s prest wi’ grief an’ care: There let him bowse an’ deep carouse, Wi’ bumpers flowing o’er, Till he forgets his loves or debts, An’ minds his griefs no more. Solomon’s Proverbs, xxxi:6, 7 Let other Poets raise a fracas ’Bout vines, an’ wines, an’ druken Bacchus, An’ crabbed names an’ stories wrack us, An’ grate our lug, I sing the juice Scotch bear can mak us, In glass or jug. O thou, my MUSE! Guid, auld SCOTCH DRINK! Whether thro’ wimplin worms thou jink, Or, richly brown, ream owre the brink, In glorious faem, Inspire me, till I lisp an’ wink, To sing thy name! Let husky Wheat the haughs adorn, And Aits set up their awnie horn, An’ Pease an’ Beans, at een or morn, Perfume the plain, Leeze me on thee John Barleycorn, Thou king o’ grain!
