1927 Barflies and Cocktails

Here' s co your health.

Let's have a nip.

May we never wan t a friend or a bottle to share it wirh him. Here's to those I love, Here's to those who love me, Here' s to those who lo ve those I love, And here's to those who love those who love me.

Here's a toast to all who are here, No matter where you are from ; May the best day you h ave ever seen ' Be worse than your worst to come.

Happy are we met, happy have we been, happy may we pan, and happy meet again.

If I should die co-night, an_d you come co my cold corpse and say, weeping and heart~ick o' er my lifeless clay, and you should come in deepest g rief and woe, and say, " Here's chat fiver I owe," I m ight arise in my coffin, and say, "What's that ? " If I should die co-night, and you sliould come to my cold corpse and kneel, clasping my bier, to show the g rief you feel, I say if I should die co-night, and you should come to me, and there and then just even h int about paying me that fiver, I might arise the while, but I'd drop dead again.

To-morrow can wait ; ... Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughrer, Sermons and soda water the day after.

Drink While You Can. Drink co-day a nd drown all so rrow, You shall p erhaps not do it to-morrow. Best while you have it use your breath, There is no drinking after .death.
