Vila's Drinking Song

by Judith Proctor with help from Anne Wells

(tune: The Lincolnshire Poacher)

On board the Liberator, a drinks machine I found,
It gave me beer and whisky, in glasses clear and round,
Blake came along and drank it, so I had to start again,
With a bottle of scotch on a long night watch, I'll drinking go with Zen,
With a bottle of scotch on a long night watch, I'll drinking go with Zen.

With brandy, then with lager, I filled myself a glass,
Jenna poured it in her plant, an ornamental grass,
The leaves went pale, the seeds fell off, she cursed all drinking men,
With a bottle of scotch on a long night watch, I'll drinking go with Zen,
With a bottle of scotch on a long night watch, I'll drinking go with Zen.

Tequila, Benedictine, and Harvey's Bristol Cream,
Were all upon the menu, 'till Avon wrecked my dream,
That Alpha nosey-parker re-programmed my drinks machine,
With a bottle of scotch on a long night watch, I'll drinking go with Zen,
With a bottle of scotch on a long night watch, I'll drinking go with Zen.

Said Zen, "I've information, on how to drink your fill,
Deep inside my data banks are plans to build a still."
I've fixed up pipes and tubing - now I can booze again,
With a bottle of scotch on a long night watch, I'll drinking go with Zen,
With a bottle of scotch on a long night watch, I'll drinking go with Zen.
