One never should give up on drinking,
Good drink makes the world go around.
And always be good to the fellow
Who's ready to pay for a round.
Champagne or fine wine or good lager,
But when drinking don't think you're so fab.
A lot of men drank up their liquor
Who then couldn't pay down the tab.
[Chorus:]
Drink, drink, goodfellow drink,
Leave your woes in some other place
Drink, drink, goodfellow drink,
Don't make such a horrible face.
Forget all your worries, forget all your past
Then life will just be a blast.
Forget all your worries, forget all your past
Then life will just be a blast.
Old Moses, who wrote the commendments,
Was thinking of making one more.
But you won't find it now in the Bible
It had too much pleasure in store.
They hid it away from us topers:
It listed the pleasures of drink
But I'll glady reveal here the wording
And let me know then what you think.
