1933 Lest We Forget
Here's to you, my dear, and to the dear who's not here, my dear; but if the dear who's not here, my dear, were here, my dear, I'd not be drinking to you, dear, that's clear. Here's to a long life and a merry one, A quick death and a happy one, A good girl and a pretty one, A cold bottle and another one. So fill up the bowl. Be a jolly old soul. And you'll be loved by your girl when you get her. Here's to you, as good as you are; And here's to me, as bad as I am. But as good as you are, and as bad as I am; I'm as good as you are, as bad as I am. To-morrow can wait; Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter. Sermons and soda water the day after. This is a good world to live in. To lend, to spend, to give in. But to get, or to borrow, or to keep what's one's own, 'Tis the very worst world that ever was known. Wine is good, Love is better. False morals spin a spider's fetter. "
