Come on, lads, and let’s be jolly Drive away all melancholy, For, to grieve it would be folly, While we are together. Chorus Let union be in all our hearts, Let all our hearts be joined as one. We’ll end the day as we begun, We’ll end it all in pleasure. Right-folla-rolla-rye, too-ra-lie-doe (3x) While we are together. Old King Solomon, in all his glory, Told us all a different story, In our cups we’ll toast his glory While we are together. Eating and drinking are quite charming, Dancing and singing there’s no harm in. Friends embrace with smile disarming While we are together. Cease your quarreling and fighting, Evil thinking and backbiting. All these things take no delight in, While we are together.
