Drink To The Dead (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]

If knee-deep in catnip at the old icebox

I recommend you whistle and give the box three knocks

Should you be so lucky to hear whisperin'

It is an invitation for you to leap in

[Pre-Chorus]

May you go marching in three-measure time

Dressed up as asses, drunk to the nines

Swing from the rafters shouting those songs

Gone unsung for far too long

[Verse 2]

If boxing your shadow at the wall full of moss

And antlers approach you, then I am at a loss

[Pre-Chorus]

May you go marching in three-measure time

Dressed up as asses, drunk to the nines

Swing from the rafters shouting those songs

Gone unsung for far too long

[Chorus]

Drink to the dead, all you still alive

We shall join them, in good time

Should you go crossin' that silvery brook

It's best to leap before you look

[Verse 3]

If surrounded by toadstools at the old green glen

I'm afraid there is little that I can recommend

Save all of your courage and sincere prayer

And where you go a-treadin', take the utmost care

[Chorus]

So, let us drink to the dead, all you still alive

We shall join them, in good time

Should you go crossing that silvery brook

It's best to leap before you look

Drink to the dead, all you still alive

We shall join them, in good time

Should you go crossing that silvery brook

It's best to leap before you look
