Lyrics:

Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me see the best side of you
Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me be good friends to you
Gay as a goose in the gutter
Merry as a mice in malt
If we've got a ha'porth of liveliness
What care we're below the salt

Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me see the best side of you
Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me be good friends to you
Gay as a goose in the gutter
Merry as a mice in malt
If we've got a ha'porth of liveliness
What care we're below the salt

Happy as a sandboy building
Castles in the air
Flag waving from the mast
In a world without a care

Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me see the best side of you
Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me be good friends to you
Gay as a goose in the gutter
Merry as a mice in malt
If we've got a ha'porth of liveliness
What care we're below the salt




May your castles never crumble
Dreams never fade
Run to meet the sunshine
Don't be drawn to the shade

Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me see the best side of you
Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me be good friends to you
Gay as a goose in the gutter
Merry as a mice in malt
If we've got a ha'porth of liveliness
What care we're below the salt
