1932 The Green Cocktail Book by Jimmy

Toasts

Here's to our wives, who fill our lives with little bees and honey! They break life's shocks, they mend our socks— But don't they spend the money!

Lips that touch liquor shall never fall down.

Here's to a bird, a bottle and an open-work stocking. There's nothing in this that's so very shock ing. The bird came from Jersey, the bottle from France. The open-work stocking was seen at a dance. Here's to our wives; they are like cider— the longer you leave them standing around, the more ofa kick you get. Here's to a long life, and may you live a thousand years and I a thousand years less one day, for I would not care to live after you had passed away.
