The Canakin Clink Pub Song
Sheet Music by Special Request only
All voices performed by Angus Macdonald; Music by Michael Mikulin
Verse (open w. belch, laughter, glass clink)
And let me the canakin clink, clink;
And let me the canakin clink:
A soldier’s a man;
A life’s but a span;
Why then let a soldier drink.
Bridge (same lyric, different music)
And let me the canakin clink, clink;
And let me the canakin clink:
A soldier’s a man;
A life’s but a span;
Why then let a soldier drink. (return to v.)
Instrumental Solo & Voiceovers
Iago: Now, ‘mongst this flock of drunkards
Am I to put our Cassio in some action
Cassio: ‘Fore God, they have given me a rouse already.
Montano: Good faith, a little one, not past a pint, as I am a soldier.
Iago: Some wine, ho!
Cassio: Do not think gentlemen, that I am drunk. I can stand well enough, and I can speak well enough. (2.3)
