Another lyric for DT harvest...perhaps?
A wonderful, fun, rolicking good tune and lyrics.

Since the words "drink, drink" are common to both the songs....posted here.

DRINKING SONG

from "The Student Prince of Heidelburg"
Copyright 1924
Lyrics by Dorothy Donnelly
Music by Sigmund Romberg

Ein zwei drei vier -
Lift your stein and drink your beer!
Ein zwei drei vier -
Lift your stein and drink your beer

Drink! Drink! Drink!
To eyes that are bright as stars when they're shining on me
Drink! Drink! Drink!
To lips that are red and sweet as the fruit on the tree
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 every true lover salute his sweetheart!

Drink! Drink! Drink!
To arms that are white and warm as a rose in the sun
Drink! Drink! Drink!
To hearts that will love one, only when I am the one
Here's a hope that those soft arms will twine
Tenderly, trustingly soon around mine

All I ask is the right to see
Those smiling eyes beguiling me -

Drink! Drink! Let the toast start!
May young hearts never part!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Let every true lover salute his sweetheart!
Let's drink!
