Down Among The Dead Men

Here's a Health to the King and a lasting Peace
That faction end and Wealth increase
Come, let us drink it while we have breath
For there's no drinking after death

And he who 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

Let charming Beauty's Health go round
In whom Celestial joys are found
And may confusion still pursue
That senseless woman-hating crew

And he who 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

In smiling Bacchus' joys I'll roll
Deny no pleasure to my soul
Let Bacchus' Health round swiftly move
For Bacchus is a friend to Love

And he who 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 Joys maintain
And their united Pleasures reign
While smiling plenty crowns the Lord
We'll sing the joys that both afford

And he who 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
