Jolly Fellows 1905

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 06 Aug 2005

When jolly good fellows
are gathered together,
their spirits soon bring them
to warbling a song;
they soon get melodious
and join in a chorus,
that some would enjoy keeping up
all night long,
but one round the board
makes a long well known sign
and they all stand up then
for the "Song of the Stein!"

So then up, comrades, up,
let us pledge now a stein,
that we hold all true friendship
a blessing divine!
Let then clink, clink, and clink!
As we drink, drink, and drink!
So then up, comrades, up,
for the Song of The Stein,
so let us clink, clink, clink
and let us drink, drink, drink!

Then echoes come ringing
of old glee club singing,
of nights on the campus
with the man in the moon:
Some get sentimental
though long since parental,
and poof! they are dreaming
how they used to spoon;
and deep in their hearts
friendship's flame burns divine
as they stand up once more
for the "Song of the Stein!"

So then up, comrades, up,
let us pledge now a stein,
that we hold all true friendship
a blessing divine!
Let then clink, clink, and clink!
As we drink, drink, and drink!
So then up, comrades, up,
for the Song of The Stein,
so let us clink, clink, clink
and let us drink, drink, drink!
