Gather, friends, and let's be jolly
Drive away all melancholy,
For, to grieve it would be folly,
While we are together.
Chorus:
Let union be in all our hearts.
Let all our hearts be joined as one.
We'll end the day as we've begun,
We'll end it all in pleasure.
Right, folly-rolly-rolly, too-ra-li-o
Right, folly-rolly-rolly, too-ra-li-o
Right, folly-rolly-rolly, too-ra-li-o
While we are together
Solomon, grown old and hoary
Told each wife a different story
Of the things that bring us glory
While we are together
[Chorus]
Food and drink to bring us pleasure
Song and dance in equal measure
Such as these are what we treasure
While we are together
[Chorus]
Fill the board; let there be plenty
Who so wants to be content, he
Eats and drinks enough for twenty
While we are together
[Chorus]
Singing and dancing are quite charming
Eating and drinking there's no harm in
These are all more fun than farming
While we are together
[Chorus]
Cease your quarreling and fighting,
Evil-thinking and backbiting.
All these things take no delight in,
While we are together.
[Chorus]
Grab the bottle as it passes,
Do not fail to fill your glasses.
Water drinkers are dull asses,
While we are together.
[Chorus]
