LAUGH AN' BE THANKFU'.
COME sit down, my cronies, and gie us your crack,
Let the win' tak the care o' this worl' on its back;
The langer we sit here and drink, the merrier will we get-.
We've aye been provided for, an' sae will we yet.
Then bring us a tankard o' nappy guid ale,
To cheer up our hearts, and enliven our tale;
Till the house be rinnin' roun' about, its time enough to flit-
We've aye been provided for, and sae will we yet.
May the taxes come aff, that the drink may be cheap,
And the yill be as plentiful as 'gin it were a spate;
May the enemies o' liberty ere lang get a kick
They've aye gott'nt hitherto, and sae shall they yet.
Now, God bless the Queen, an' aye prosper her days,
For I'm sure that Her Majesty has baith meat an' claes;
And lang on the throne o' her faithers may she sit-
They've aye been provided for, and sae will they yet.
Then push round the jorum, an' tak aff your dram,
An' laugh an' be thankfu' as lang as ye can-
For seed-time and harvest ye ever shall get,
When ye fell ye aye got up again, and sae will ye yet.

Laugh An' Be Thankfu'
It seems as good a time as any to take the advice of an excellent drinking song:

*peers over the bar* oh, my! as i seem to remember, under the pool table is a much more comfortable spot.
*covers mr. boab with a coat from the lost & found and tucks a stack of bev naps under his head* i'll just sweep around ye, erm, you, and turn out the lights.
*toddles off to make the bank deposit*
