Come landlord fill the flowing bowl

 

 

 

Come, landlord, fill the flowing bowl

Until it doth run over

For tonight we'll merry be

Tomorrow we'll be sober

The man that drinketh small beer

And goes to be quite sober

Fades as the leaves do fade

That drop of in October

A man who drinketh strong beer

And goes to bed quite mellow

Lives as he ought to live

And dies a jolly good fellow

icon_13.gif

But he who drinks just what he likes

And getteth half seas over

Will live until he die perhaps

And then lie down in clover

But he who kisses a pretty girl

And does and tell his mother

Ought to have his lips cut off

And never kiss another
