If you parse "another" as a triplet instead of a pair of eighths (last two syllables on the lower note), it scans as well as many other drinking songs :)
Not that this is saying much... but it is a verse with a fairly limited use-group.
I don't know any drinking songs, so I don't know what you're referring to there. Even parsing "another" as a triplet (which granted, works, but is pushing it a bit), the first sentence doesn't scan either.

There are seven syllables (or whatever they're called in music, stresses maybe?) in each line. In the set you quoted there are 6 in the first and 8 in the second - which yes, adds up to the same as 7 and 7 but it's not the same thing musically. Just sayin' :)

You will now writhe in pain
As we sing another refrain

"Now we'll watch you writhe in pain
As we sing one more refrain"
Would work nicely.
Ouch? Look, it works! :-D
