Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
Who would want to dodge love’s arrows
When my Alison’s on the case?
The focus of my senses narrows
Why do I love you
Because stars stand in the sky
And never seem to die...
