[Verse 1]
One, two, and three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern
Three jolly coachmen sat at an English tavern
And they decided
And they decided
And they decided
To have another flagon

[Verse 2]
Landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
Landlord, fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
For tonight we'll merr-I be
For tonight we'll merr-I be
For tonight we'll merr-I be
Tomorrow we'll be sober
What?

[Verse 3]
Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow
Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow
He lives as he ought to live
Lives as he ought to live
He lives as he ought to live
And dies a jolly good fellow
Ha! Ha! Ha!

[Verse 4]
Here's to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober
Here's to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober
He falls as the leaves do fall
Falls as the leaves do fall
Falls as the leaves do fall
He'll die before October
Ho! Ho! Ho!

[Verse 5]
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and runs to tell her mother
She's a foolish, foolish thing
She's a foolish, foolish thing
She's a foolish, foolish thing
For she'll not get another
Pity

[Verse 6]
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss and stays to steal another
She's a boon to all mankind
She's a boon to all mankind
She's a boon to all mankind
For she'll soon be a mother
