Lone Birthday Boy Dancing
Yesterday for my birthday,

with a bottle of wine
I took the train
Yesterday for my birthday,
I started off
with a bottle of wine

Old Noah he had an ostrich farm and fowls on the largest scale,
He ate his egg with a ladle in a egg-cup big as a pail,
And the soup he took was Elephant Soup and fish he took was Whale,
But they all were small to the cellar he took...

" You may do so sans objection Till the day of resurrection;
For bless my beard they aye shall be My beloved Trinity

Let Phoebis every string explore,
And Bacchus fill the sprightly bowl:

Round about the city rests
The illuminated streets grow Quiet, and coaches rush along, adorned with torches
Men go home to rest, filled with the day's pleasures; Busy minds weigh up profit and loss contentedly At home
