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]
