For tonight we'll merri-be, for tonight we'll merri-be, for tonight we'll merri-be.
Tomorrow we'll be sober.
Here's to the man drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober.

Falls as the leaves do fall, falls as the leaves do fall, falls as the leaves do fall
He'll die before October.

Here's to the man who drinks brown ale and goes to bed quite mellow.

Lives as he ought to live, lives as he ought to live, lives as he ought to live
And dies a jolly good fellow.

Does a very useful thing, does a very useful thing, does a very useful thing
And brother steals another.

For she'll not get another.

She's a boon to all mankind, she's a boon to all mankind, she's a boon to all mankind
For she'll soon be a mother.
