Thread Name: Military Jodies?
Subject: RE: Military Jodies?
I first heard the song about 'one keg for the four of us' when I was going to UCLA. We always thought it was a Notre Dame Drinking Song. I never heard it sung anytime during my 38 months in the Army Air Force during WWII. The lyric is as follows:

Drink, drank drunk
Drunk the night before
Gonna get drunk tonight
Like I never got drunk before
For when I'm drunk
I'm as happy as can be
For I am a member of the Dutch family
There's the Amsterdam Dutch and the Rotterdam Dutdh
The Potsdam Dutch and the Goddamn Dutch
So sing glorious, victorious
One keg of beer for the four of us
And glory be to God that there are no more of us
For one of us could drink it all alone, damned near
Here's to the Irish, dead drunk
The lucky stiffs
