Hey, Hey! Drovers traveling up river
Hey, Hey! Got a secret to deliver
Hey, Hey! Shanties of the Shire
Hey, Hey! It’s sly grog
Woo Hoo!

Hey, Hey! Get rum in a barrel
Hey, Hey! With molasses and tobacco
Hey, Hey! Splash o’ corn liquor
Hey, Hey! Cough elixir is the kicker

Sly Grog! The devil is to blame
Sly Grog! Dens of infamy and shame
Sly Grog! Ruin of the youth
Sly GrogDeath poison of the bush

Hey, Hey! Sneak around the side
Hey, Hey! As the constable rides by
Hey, Hey! Ya drink it real sly
Hey, Hey! LIQUID DYNAMITE!

Sly Grog! The devil is to blame
Sly Grog! Dens of infamy and shame
Sly Grog! Ruin of the youth
Sly GrogDeath poison of the bush

Woo Hoo!

Hey, Hey! Woo Hoo! Sly Grog!
