Do nothing but eat, and make good cheer,
And praise God for the merry year
When flesh is cheap and females dear
And lusty lads roam here and there,
So merrily, and ever among so merrily
Be merry, be merry, my wife has all
For women are shrews, both short and tall
'T is merry in hall when beards wag all,
And welcome merry Shrove-tide.
Be merry, be merry
