Lyrics
[Verse 1] Raise your glass and toast the night, (Cheers to the night!) By the fire's warm, dim light, (Bright 'n' bright) With every sip, our hearts take flight, (Take flight!) We'll sing and laugh 'til morning light. (Morning light!)
[Chorus] Drink, drink, oh, drink it down, (Drink it down!) To every joy, and every frown, (And every frown!) With friends so dear, we'll never drown, (Never drown!) In this merry town, let's drink it down. (Drink it down!)
[Verse 2] The tavern doors are open wide, (Open wide!) Within, true friends and ale reside, (Ale reside!) Come one, come all, there's naught to hide, (Naught to hide!) With mirth and song, we'll turn the tide. (Turn the tide!)
[Chorus] Drink, drink, oh, drink it down, (Drink it down!) To every joy, and every frown, (And every frown!) With friends so dear, we'll never drown, (Never drown!) In this merry town, let's drink it down. (Drink it down!)
[Verse 3] A tale of old, we'll sing tonight, (Sing tonight!) Of heroes bold, and maidens bright, (Maidens bright!) With every verse, our souls ignite, (Souls ignite!) In song and cheer, we find delight. (Find delight!)
[Chorus] Drink, drink, oh, drink it down, (Drink it down!) To every joy, and every frown, (And every frown!) With friends so dear, we'll never drown, (Never drown!) In this merry town, let's drink it down. (Drink it down!)
[Bridge] Raise your tankard high, my friend, (High, my friend!) To the nights that never end, (Never end!) In laughter's light, our hearts we'll mend, (Hearts we'll mend!) Together strong, our voices blend. (Voices blend!)
[Verse 4] For every sorrow, a song we sing, (Song we sing!) To every heart, our voices ring, (Voices ring!) With every cheer, our hopes we'll bring, (Hopes we'll bring!) In this grand hall, joy is king. (Joy is king!)
[Chorus] Drink, drink, oh, drink it down, (Drink it down!) To every joy, and every frown, (And every frown!) With friends so dear, we'll never drown, (Never drown!) In this merry town, let's drink it down. (Drink it down!)
[Verse 5] A final toast, to love and life, (Love and life!) To kin and kin, and to the wife, (To the wife!) With every toast, we banish strife, (Banish strife!) In harmony, we'll toast this life. (Toast this life!)
[Outro] So raise your glass, one last refrain, (Last refrain!) To joy and love, we sing again, (Sing again!) With hearts so full, we'll end this strain, (End this strain!) Till the morrow comes, let laughter reign. (Laughter reign!)
