That must be Nursie's, I do believe.

Here's a jolly verse to start the next:


We meet 'neath the sounding rafters,
And the walls around are bare;
As they echo to our laughter
'Twould not seem that the dead were there.
So stand to your glasses steady,
'Tis all we have left to prize.
Quaff a cup to the dead already
And one to the next who dies.

I can make it that far
And I'll see if my friends are still there
Yes, and here's to the few
Who forgive what you do
And the fewer who don't even care

Just land him at once," said the clerk.

You know that we're going to glow
Like cats in the dark
When things have gone too far
