If knee-deep in cat nip at the old icebox
I recommend you whistle and give the box three knocks
Should you be so lucky to hear whisperin'
It is an invitation for you to leap in
May you go marchin' in three measure time
Dressed up as a**es, drunk to the nines
Swing from the rafters, shoutin' those songs
Gone unsung for far too long
If boxing your shadow at the wall full of moss
And antlers approach you then I am at a loss
May you go marchin' in three measure time
Dressed up as a**es, drunk to the nines
Swing from the rafters shoutin' those songs
Gone unsung for far too long
Drink to the dead, all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook
It's best to leap before you look
Drink to the dead, all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook
It's best to leap before you look
If surrounded by toadstools at the old green glen
I'm afraid there is little that I can recommend
Save all of your courage and the sincere prayer
And where you go a-treadin' take the utmost care
So let us drink to the dead, all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook
It's best to leap before you look
Drink to the dead, all you still alive
We shall join them in good time
Should you go crossin' that silvery brook
It's best to leap before you look
