London’s dweller, child of wisdom,
Kept his counsel, took his toll;
Ayrshire’s vagrant paid the piper,
Lost the game—God save his soul!
Kept his counsel, took his toll;
Ayrshire’s vagrant paid the piper,
Lost the game—God save his soul!
Bobbie Burns and Bobbie Browning,
What’s the difference, you see?
Bob the lover, Bob the lawyer;
Bobbie is the boy for me!
What’s the difference, you see?
Bob the lover, Bob the lawyer;
Bobbie is the boy for me!
A TOAST.
Here’s a health to thee, Roberts,
And here’s a health to me;
And here’s to all the pretty girls
From Denver to the sea!
And here’s a health to me;
And here’s to all the pretty girls
From Denver to the sea!
Here’s to mine and here’s to thine!
Now’s the time to clink it!
Here’s a flagon of old wine,
And here are we to drink it.
Now’s the time to clink it!
Here’s a flagon of old wine,
And here are we to drink it.
Wine that maketh glad the heart
Of the bully boy!
Here’s the toast that we love most,
“Love and song and joy!”
Of the bully boy!
Here’s the toast that we love most,
“Love and song and joy!”
Song that is the flower of love,
And joy that is the fruit!
Here's the love of woman, lad,
And here’s our love to boot!
And joy that is the fruit!
Here's the love of woman, lad,
And here’s our love to boot!
