When friends cruise the Macc’s muddy line

Of spirit we know there’s no lack

So mix whisky and green ginger wine

And drink down a large whisky mac
F C G Am
Whisky mac on the Macc, with friends knock it back
F G Am
Jokes, laughter, songs and whisky mac
When a bitter nor-westerly blows
And its bite feels as sharp as brass tacks
The answer as each boater knows
Is to down several large whisky macs
The dangers of consuming booze
Run like water from a duck’s back
When at the end of a long cold day’s cruise
You’re offered a large whisky mac
When you’re feeling crabby or stoned
If your mood is at best labelled black
Your narrowboat’s no alcohol free zone
So pour out one more whisky mac
When floating at five one eight feet
Of water there’s sometimes a lack
Though grounded do not be downbeat
“Bottoms up” with a large whisky mac
If your boating wardrobe’s incomplete
As your waterproofs you didn’t pack
Think not of the rain, snow and sleet
But the warmth of a large whisky mac
When you cruise above the Cheshire plain
And geese launch dam-busting attacks
Ignore their foul bombing campaign
And cheer up with some large whisky macs
When walkers pass you don’t grouse
If you’re o’ertaken by everyman Jack
Just make haste to a warm public house
To join friends for a large whisky mac
Now this teacher’s escaped from the bells
And the incessant yackety-yak
No more evil laboratory smells
Just good friends sharing more whisky mac
Whisky Mac on the Macc
