1930 ABC of Mixing Cocktails (ninth impression)

May we never want a friend or a bottle to share it with him. H ere's to those I love, H ere's to those who love me, Here's to those who love those I love, And here's to t hose who love those who love me.

H ere 's a toast to all "·ho a re here, No ma tter where you a re from ; J\Iay the best d ay you have ever seen Be worse than your worst t o come .

Happy are we me t, happy h ave we been, happy may we part, a nd happy meet again . If I should die to-night, a nd you come to my cold cor pse and say, weeping a nd heartsick o'er my lifeless clay, and you should come in dee pest grief a nd woe, and say, "Here's that fiver I owe ," I migh t a rise in my coffin, a nd say," What's tha t?" If I should die to-ni ght, a nd you should come to my cold cor pse and kneel, clasping my bier, to show the grief yo u feel, I say if I should die to-night, a nd you s hould come to me, a nd there a nd then just even hint abou t p aying me that fi ver, I might arise the wh ile, but I 'd drop dead again . To-morrow can wait; Let us h ave wine a nd women, mirth and la ughter, Sermons a nd soda water t he day a fter.

Drink While You Can. Drink to-clay a n d drown all sorrow, Yo u sha ll p erh aps no t do it to-morrow. Best while you have it use your breath, There is no drinking after death. 95
