Are We All Here? 1915 JPitt-Payne

Ev'ryone was gay and hearty
at the good old merry party,
they'd been out to have a ramble
round the countryside:
All the boys and girls together
didn't care about the weather,
off they went in couples
and they all began to hide;
Late at night around the woods
in twos they went about,
till someone thro' a megaphone
began to loudly shout:

Are we all here?
Everyone! Everyone!
The same as when we started
are we down hearted? No!
Are we all here?
Feeling merry and bright
for so long as we're all together,
we're all alright!

Are we all here?
Everyone! Everyone!
The same as when we started
are we down hearted? No!
Are we all here?
Feeling merry and bright
for so long as we're all together,
we're all alright!

Sev'ral fellows bent on flying
in an airship went up trying,
soon they reached a planet
that no one had seen before;
And that planet just between us
was the one that's known as Venus,
Twenty little Venuses
were waiting at the door,
they all cried: "Come in! Come in!"
the boys all went inside
Then Jenkins looked at all
the pretty Venuses and cried:

Are we all here?
Everyone! Everyone!
The same as when we started
are we down hearted? No!
Are we all here?
Feeling merry and bright
for so long as we're all together,
we're all alright!

Are we all here?
Everyone! Everyone!
The same as when we started
are we down hearted? No!
Are we all here?
Feeling merry and bright
for so long as we're all together,
we're all alright!

Mister Green for years had tarried,
so he thought that he'd get married,
with a charming widow once
he went and tied the knot;
waited full of jubilation
for her at the railway station,
soon up came the widow fair
with quite a merry lot.
Six young little boys and girls
and all about as high
when they got in the railway train
they all began to cry:

Are we all here?
Everyone! Everyone!
The same as when we started
are we down hearted? No!
Are we all here?
Feeling merry and bright
for so long as we're all together,
we're all alright!

Are we all here?
Everyone! Everyone!
The same as when we started
are we down hearted? No!
Are we all here?
Feeling merry and bright
for so long as we're all together,
we're all alright!
