Preab San Ol - The Dubliners

Why spend your leisure bereft of pleasure
A massing treasure why scrape and save
Why look so canny at ev'ry penny
You'll take no money within the grave
Landlords and gentry with all their plenty
Must still go empty where e'er they're bound
So to my thinking we'd best be drinking
Our glasses clinking and round and round
Rap
King Solomon's glory so famed in story
Was far outshone by the lillies guise
But hard winds harden both field and garden
Pleading for pardon the lily dies
Life's but a bauble of toil and trouble
The feathered arrow once shot ne'er found
So lads and lasses because life passes
Come fill your glasses for another round
Rap
The huckster greedy he blinds the needy
Their strifes unheeding shouts money down
This special vices his fancy prices
For a florin value he'll charge a crown
With hump for tramel the scripture's chamel
Missed the needle's eye and so came to ground
Why pine for riches while still you've stitches
To hold your britches up another round
