What Shall We Drink?

To our Army and Navy forever, Linked by a tie ne'er to sever1 God give them the might To fight the good fight

And taste of defeat no, not ever!

To the ace of the skies. May God give his eyes First sight of a foe in a plane! And when the fight's over May he be in clover And fly to our welcome again! Let's drink to Old Glory, The flag of the free! May ever her story Most glorious be! Here's to the cultured And here's to the crude. So long as they're honest And drink without mood!

To Wealth—the kind that cannot be alloyed by greed— The wealth of love and hope and kindly deed!

Come,fill a fresh bumper,for why should we go While the nectar still reddens our cups as they flow! —Holmes

To our President: May God guide his actions, guard his health and preserve his mind.

A song for our banner! The watchword recall Which gave the Republic her station! "United we stand, divided we fall!" It made and preserves us a nation!—J. P. Morris

Hail, social glass, thou foil to care. Here and there and everywhere!

Here's to misers—whose abstinence gives us the more to drink.
