Lyrics

  1. Drink! Drink! Drink!
    To eyes that are Bright as stars
    When they’re shining on me
    Drink to them
    Drink! Drink! Drink!
    To lips that are Red and sweet
    As the fruit on the tree
    Drink to them

Here’s a hope that those bright eyes will shine
Lovingly, longingly, soon into mine
May those lips that are red and sweet
Tonight with joy my own lips meet
Drink! Drink! Let the toast start
May young hearts never part
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Let ev’ry true lover salute his sweetheart

  1. Drink! Drink! Drink!
    To arms that are White and warm
    As a rose in the sun
    Drink to them
    Drink! Drink! Drink!
    To hearts that will Love one
    Only when I am the one
    Drink to them

Here’s a hope that those soft arms will twine
Tenderly, trustingly, soon around mine
May she give me a priceless boon
Her love beneath the sweet May moon
Drink! Drink! Let the toast start
May young hearts never part
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Let ev’ry true lover salute his sweetheart
Let’s drink
