| When we are in the shop
|
| We don't care what the ground is
|
| But we hurry to the game
|
| We sweat
|
| What's going on
|
| Where is the money butler
|
| This is work for us
|
| If anything is wrong, let it be heard
|
| Some play, some drink
|
| Some live indiscriminately
|
| But those who stay in the game
|
| Some of them are stripped bare
|
| Some get dressed
|
| Some sacks
|
| There no one fears death
|
| But they cast lots for Bacchus
|
| First for the buyer of wine
|
| From this the freedmen drink;
|
| Toasts for prisoners
|
| After drinking three times for a living
|
| Four times
|
| Five times for the faithful
|
| Six for vain sisters
|
| Seven times for gentlemen
|
| Eight times for perverse brothers
|
| Nine times for monks scattered
|
| Millions of sailors
|
| eleven times for variance
|
| Twelve times for penitents
|
| Tradecies for travelling
|
| Both for the pope and for the king
|
| They all drink without the law
|
| The mistress drinks, the master drinks
|
| The soldier drinks, the clergy drinks
|
| She drinks ill, she drinks
|
| The servant drinks with the handmaid
|
| The quick drinks, the lazy person drinks
|
| The white man drinks, the black man drinks
|
| Drinks constant, drinks outward
|
| He drinks raw, the magician drinks
|
| The poor and the sick drink
|
| Bit exiled and unknown
|
| The boy drinks, the aging drinker
|
| Drinks Director and Dean
|
| Sister drinks, brother drinks
|
| The old woman drinks, the mother drinks
|
| He drank it, he drank it
|
| They drink a hundred, they drink a thousand!
|
| six hundred pence
|
| Durable when immoderately
|
| They drink all without a limit
|
| Although they drink the mind
|
| Thus all nations nag us
|
| We will be in need
|
| Those who nag us
|
| And you just don't write! |
