I saw the window open, I saw a face to scarce!

I heard a voice that muttered "What are ye doin' there?"

And over me was emptied a full and flowing can!

Which made me hurry homewards, a wet and wiser man!

I sang my song that midnight, with voice of dulcet tone,

My dulcet voice next morning was like a bagpipe groan,

A blanket round my shoulders, my feet were in a pan,

Some doctor's stuff beside me, a sad and wiser man!
