I have an abscess on me tooth
(Well underneath me fillin’)
It throbs like buggery forsooth
They gave me penicillin.

I’m taking whisky for the pain
(My favourite analgesia)
It dulls the senses of the brain
And causes mild amnesia.

Take whisky for a fearsome ache
Take whisky for the pleasure
But take it neat for goodness sake
And never, ever measure!
