COme bring us Wine in plenty,
We've Money enough to spend ;
I hate to see the Pots empty,
A Man cannot Drink to's Friend :
Then drawer bring up more Wine,
And merrily let it pass ;
We'll drink till our Faces do shine,
He that wont may look like an Ass :
And we'll tell him so to his Face,
If he offers to baulk his Glass,
For we defy all such dull Society.
'Tis drinking makes us merry,
And Mirth diverts all Care ;
A Song of hey down derry,
Is better than heavy Air :
Make ready quickly my Boys,
And fill up your Glasses higher j
For we'll present with Huzzas,
And merrily all give fire ;
Since drinking's our desire,
And friendship we admire,
For here we'll stay, ne'er call Drawer what's to pay.
