Here's a health to the king and lasting peace To faction end, to wealth increase Come let us drink while we have breath For there's no drinking after death
And he that will this health deny Down among the dead men Down among the dead men Down, down, down, down Down among the dead men let him lie
In smiling Bacchuses, joy high roll Deny no pleasures to my soul The Bacchus is health 'round briskly move For Bacchus is the friend of love
And he that would this health deny Down among the dead men Down among the dead men Down, down, down, down Down among the dead men let him lie
May love and wine, their rights maintain And their united pleasures reign While Bacchus' treasure crowns the board We'll sing the joy that both afford
And they that won't with us comply Down among the dead men Down among the dead men Down, down, down, down Down among the dead men let him lie
