Let Union Be in All Our Hearts

Gather, friends, 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've begun, We'll end it all in pleasure. Right, folly-rolly-rolly, too-ra-li-o Right, folly-rolly-rolly, too-ra-li-o Right, folly-rolly-rolly, too-ra-li-o While we are together

Solomon, grown old and hoary Told each wife a different story Of the things that bring us glory While we are together

[Chorus]

Food and drink to bring us pleasure Song and dance in equal measure Such as these are what we treasure While we are together

[Chorus]

Fill the board; let there be plenty Who so wants to be content, he Eats and drinks enough for twenty While we are together

[Chorus]

Singing and dancing are quite charming Eating and drinking there's no harm in These are all more fun than farming While we are together

[Chorus]

Cease your quarreling and fighting, Evil-thinking and backbiting. All these things take no delight in, While we are together.

[Chorus]

Grab the bottle as it passes, Do not fail to fill your glasses. Water drinkers are dull asses, While we are together.

[Chorus]
