Gutter Geese
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.
Chorus:
Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me see the best side of you
Come be merry, be my friend
Come let me be good friends to you
Gay as a goose in the gutter
Merry as a mice in malt
If we've got a ha'porth of liveliness
What care we're below the salt
Chorus
Happy as a sandboy building
Castles in the air
Flag waving from the mast
In a world without a care
Chorus
May your castles never crumble
Dreams never fade
Run to meet the sunshine
Don't be drawn to the shade
Chorus
