Come be merry, be my friend Come let me see the best side of you Come be merry, be my friend Come let me be good friends to you Gay as a goose in the gutter Merry as a mice in malt If we've got a ha'porth of liveliness What care we're below the salt May your castles never crumble Dreams never fade Run to meet the sunshine Don't be drawn to the shade Come be merry, be my friend Come let me see the best side of you Come be merry, be my friend Come let me be good friends to you Gay as a goose in the gutter Merry as a mice in malt If we've got a ha'porth of liveliness What care we're below the salt
