‘ He gallantly brim the beaker bowl,
A click the festal glasses, oh!
The grape will shed its sapphire soul
To the oh!
And when yo pledge the lip and curl
Of loveliness and glory, oh!
Here's a bumper to the gallant girl,
That smole the dastard Tory, oh!
A bumper, a thumper,
To loveliness and glory, oh!
Here's a bumper to the gallant girl,
That smole the dastard Tory, oh!
Our boys are fighting East and West,
But our women do not linger, oh!
For they take their diamonds from the breast,
And their rabies from the finger, oh!
And they send their darlings to the van
Of honor and of glory, oh!
And they've all the spirit of a man
To smile a dastard Tory, oh!
A bumper, a thumper,
To loveliness and glory, oh!
Here's a bumper to the gallant girl,
That smole the dastard Tory, oh!
