By the way - if you're going to put words to the tune, it would be nice if they were the right words. In 1905 JOY OF LIVING, all the place-names in the DT version are wrong. Here's a corected version of verse 1:

Farewell you northern hills, you mountains all goodbye
Moorland and stony ridges, crags and peaks goodbye
Glyder Fach farewell, Coulbeag, Scafell, cloud bearing Suilven
Sun warmed rock and the cold of Bleaklow's frozen sea
The snow and the wind and the rain of hills and mountains
Days in the sun and the tempered winds and the air like wine
And you drink and you drink till you're drunk
On the joy of living

WassaiL! V
