Sipping Cider Through a Straw

This is a great song for group activities such as camps, fellowships, birthday parties, etc., with the leader(s) singing each phrase the first time and the rest of the group singing the repeats. At the end of each set of four lines, everyone then sings the whole verse together before moving on to the next one.
The prettiest girl (…the prettiest girl)
I ever saw (…I ever saw)
Was sipping ci- (…was sipping ci-)
-der through a straw (…-der through a straw)
The prettiest girl I ever saw
Was sipping cider through a strawI asked her if
She’d teach me how
To sip some ci-
-der through a straw
I asked her if she’d teach me how
To sip some cider through a strawFirst cheek to cheek
Then jaw to jaw
We sipped that ci-
-der through a straw
First cheek to cheek, then jaw to jaw
We sipped that cider through a strawAnd now and then
That straw did slip
And we’d sip ci-
-der lip to lip
And now and then that straw did slip
And we’d sip cider lip to lipNow forty-nine kids
All call me “pa”
From sipping ci-
-der through a straw
Now forty-nine kids all call me “pa”
From sipping cider through a strawThe moral of
This little joke
Is don’t sip ci-
-der, sip a Coke!
The moral of this little joke
Is don’t sip cider, sip a Coke!

I remember learning it in Girl Scouts, so someone had rewritten it.
The cutest boy I ever saw was sipping cider through a straw.
I asked him if he’d show me how to sip my cider through a straw.
So cheek to cheek and jaw to jaw we sipped our cider through a straw.
Then suddenly the straw did slip and we sipped cider through our lips.
That’s how I got my mother-in-law and fourteen kids who call me Ma.
This is the end, there ain’t no more, of sipping cider through a straw.
