THREE MERRY MEN OF KENT He that will not merry, merry be With a generous bowl and a toast May he in Bridewell be shut up And fast bound to a post Let him be merry, merry, merry there And we shall be merry, merry here For who can know where we may go To be merry another year, brave boys To be merry another year He that will not merry, merry be And stand his glass in course May he be obliged to drink small beer And never a penny in his purse He that will not merry, merry be In a company of jolly, jolly boys May he be plagued with a scolding wife To confound him with her noise @drink @English filename[ MENKENT JN oct96 |
