Lyrics
When I was a nipper I had this one wish
To marry a girl who could drink like a fish
She'd never complain when I came in late
'Cause she'd be in an equally horrible state
When I drank the beer, oh Rosie drank gin
She just opened her mouth and she'd shovel it in
Then she'd start to sing songs that a girl shouldn't sing
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
Everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
She never had eyes for good looking guys
I was the apple of her old mince pies
Everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
Every Saturday night we'd have a good scrub
And go for a drink down at the pub
We'd have a few jars and a bit of a croon
And no one would care if you sang out of tune
Well, old Joe's piano was as old as can be
And the woman who played it was a hundred and seven
And she'd grab handfuls of notes in no particular key
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
Everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
She never had eyes for good looking guys
I was the apple of her old mince pies
Everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
A fella once said she should drink from a trough
In no uncertain terms she told him where to get off
And after she'd clocked him we counted to ten
We helped him get up and then she'd need him again
Well, one thing for Rosie, she does a good job
That fella, he wished he'd never opened his gob
Then she'd take on the pub for a couple of bob
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
Everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
She never had eyes for good looking guys
I was the apple of her old mince pies
Everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
Everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
She never had eyes for good looking guys
I was the apple of her old mince pies
Everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
Yes, everybody wanted to go drinkin' with Rosie
When Rosie was drinkin' with me
