The Sorcerer: Eat, Drink, And Be Gay
TEA-CUP BRINDISI, 1ST VERSE – SIR MARMADUKE. Eat, drink, and be gay, Banish all worry and sorrow, Laugh gaily today, Weep, if you're sorry, tomorrow! Come, pass the cup around – I will go bail for the liquor; It's strong, I'll be bound, For it was brewed by the vicar! It's strong, I'll be bound, For it was brewed by the vicar! None so knowing as he At brewing a jorum of tea, Ha! ha! A pretty stiff jorum of tea. TRIO – MR. WELLS, ALINE, AND ALEXIS (ASIDE). See – see – they drink – All thoughts unheeding, The tea-cups clink, They are exceeding! Their hearts will melt In half-an-hour – Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Then will be felt The potion's power! Then will be felt The potion's power! BRINDISI, 2ND VERSE – DR. DALY (WITH THE TEA-POT). Pain, trouble, and care, Misery, heart-ache, and worry, Quick, out of your lair! Get you all gone in a hurry! Toil, sorrow, and plot, Fly away quicker and quicker – Three spoons to the pot – That is the brew of your vicar! Three spoons to the pot – That is the brew of your vicar! None so cunning as he At brewing a jorum of tea, Ha! ha! A pretty stiff jorum of tea!
