The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
To the tables down at moreys
To the place where louis dwells
To the dear old temple bar we love so well . . .
Sing the whiffenpoofs assembled
With their glasses raised on high,
And the magic of their singing cast its spell . . .
Yes, the magic of their singing,
Of the songs we love so well,
Shall l wasting and mavourneen and the rest,
We will serenade our louis! ( we will serenade our louis! )
While life and voice shall last!
Then well pass and be forgotten like the rest . . .
Were poor little lambs
Who have lost our way
Baa baa baa!
Were little black sheep
Who have gone astray
Baa baa baa!
Gentlemen songsters off on a spree
( doomed . . . ) doomed from here to eternity
( lord . . . ) lord, have mercy on such as we
Baa baa baa!
