Three Jolly Coachmen

Three jolly coachmen sat and drank in a Bristol tavern (x2)
Then they decided (x3)
To have another flagon

(Chorus)
Come landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over (x2)
For tonight we’ll very merry be (x3)
Tomorrow we’ll be sober

Here’s the to the man who drinks small ale and goes to be quite sober (x2)
Falls as the leaves do fall (x3)
He’ll die before October

(Chorus)

Here’s to the man who drinks good ale and goes to bed quite mellow (x2)
Lives as he ought to live (x3)
For he’s a jolly good fellow

(Chorus)

Here’s to the lass who steals a kiss and runs back to her mother (x2)
She’s a very foolish girl (x3)
She’ll never get another

(Chorus)
Here’s to the lass who steals a kiss and comes back for another (x2)
She’s a boon to all mankind (x3)
Soon she’ll be a mother

(Chorus)

If I had a pile of bricks I’d build my chimney higher (x2)
That would stop the neighbour’s cat (x3)
Pissing on the fire

(Chorus)

Come walk with me down leafy lane and don’t be so particular (x2)
If the grass is very wet (x3)
We’ll do it perpendicular

Come landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over (x2)
For tonight we’ll very merry be (x3)
Tomorrow we’re hung over
