* ''Literature/AgathaHAndTheAirshipCity'': Chapter 4 opens with a hilarious drinking song about [[CoolAirship Castle Wulfenbach]], which is laden with innuendo about how large and powerful the Baron's "great big thing" is.
-->Hide the women! Hide the beer!\\
The Baron’s great big thing is here!\\
It’s huge and fat and long and round\\
And you can see it from the ground.\\
It flies way high up in the air\\
He rides it here, he rides it there.\\
And every mad boy lives in fear\\
That Klaus will stick it in his ear.

* The Irish folk song "Seven Drunken Nights", most famously performed by Music/TheDubliners. A man who comes home "as drunk as drunk could be" for seven consecutive nights to find evidence of [[YourCheatingHeart his wife cheating]], though [[BlatantLies she insists]] he's misunderstanding the situation because he's drunk. The song gets very [[BawdySong bawdy]] at the end, though how much depends on the particular version of it.

* ''VideoGame/BetrayalInAntara'' has three different drinking songs in it, each of which has four verses. You can find people singing one verse of one song in many of the taverns/inns in the game. One is a celebration of the fact that the singer isn't famous. The second is a BawdySong about a farmer's daughter. And the third is about a man honoring the gods by buying each of them a drink - but since the gods never show up to drink them, he has to do it himself.
-->Well, I bought them a cup,\\
But they haven't shown up.\\
So the day that I die,
I'll just look in their eye\\
And say "Hey! Where were you?\\
When the man poured the brew?"\\
And I guess I'll be drinking their share.

** PlayedForLaughs in ''Discworld/{{Sourcery}}'' when the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse get drunk and start singing "We are poor little lambs who have lost our way"; indeed, they are so drunk that they forget most of the words [[spoiler: not to mention horses.]] [[labelnote:Trivia]] This used to be a common DrunkenSong in English media. It may have been originally been meant as a GeniusBonus, since it's the chorus from "Gentleman Rankers," an extremely dark poem by Creator/RudyardKipling that deals with alcoholism and losing one's social position due to spending too much on various pleasures.[[/labelnote]]
** Gaspode also sings "We are poor little lambs who have lost our way" after a pub crawl in ''Discworld/MovingPictures''.
