Preab San Ol - The Tossers

Why spend your leisure bereft of pleasure

A massing treasure, why scrape and save?

Why look so canny at every penny?

You’ll take no money within the grave

Landlords and gentry with all their plenty

Must still go empty where ever they’re bound

So to my thinking we’d best be drinking

Our glasses clinking and round and round

King Solomon’s glory, so famed in story

Was far outshone by the lilies 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, never found

So, lads and lasses because life passes

Come fill your glasses for another round

Why spend your leisure bereft of pleasure
