"Come Fill Up Your Glasses" lyrics

"Come Fill Up Your Glasses"

Come fill up your glasses with whiskey and beer
Here's to your health and to lots of good cheer
To our sisters and brothers, and may they live long
Come fill up your glasses and join in this song

A toast to the farmers, who work on the land
Who lives where his work is, who toils where he can
To the teachers and the carpenters and the bold engineers
May your wages keep rising, over the years

Here's to the miners, the whole world around
Who spend all their days in a hole underground
Whose road is a tunnel, whose day is the night
Out of darkness and danger they bring light

To the artists and writers, let's all drink a health
To people whose hopes, and whose choice are our wealth
Whose tools are but canvas or paper and pen
Whose harvest is the future and the progress of men

Let the men drink a health to their sweethearts and wives
The women being willing, will greet them likewise
May your pleasures be many and your troubles be few
May you treasure the day you made one out of two

Long life to our children and let us prepare
A world where they'll live free from sorrow and care
A world where goodwill among men is the law
A world without fallout, a world without war
