Lyrics:

Come my lads, let us be jolly
Drive away dull melancholy
For to grieve it is a folly
When we're met together

Solomon in all his glory
Told each wife a different story
In our cups we'll sing him glory
When we're met together

Let union be in all our hearts
Let all our hearts be joined as one
We'll end the day as we began
We'll end it all in pleasure

Eating and drinking they're so charming
Smoking and piping there's no harm in
All these things we'll take delight in
When we're met together

Cease your quarreling and fighting
Evil-speaking and backbiting
All these things take no delight in
When we're met together

Let union be in all our hearts
Let all our hearts be joined as one
We'll end the day as we began
We'll end it all in pleasure

Grab the bottle as it passes
Do not fail to fill your glasses
Water drinkers are dull asses
When we're met together

Let union be in all our hearts
Let all our hearts be joined as one
We'll end the day as we began
We'll end it all
We'll end the day as we began
We'll end it all in pleasure
