He that will not merry, merry be,
With a generous bowl and toast;
May he in Bridewell be shut up,
And fast bound to a post.
Let him be merry, merry, merry there,
And we will be merry, merry, merry here;
For who can know where we may go,
To be merry another year, Brave boys,
To be merry another year.
