Lyrics Let's Have A Drink On It - John Davidson
Well,
well,
well
"Let's
have
a
drink
on
it"
As
me
father
used
to
say
When
the
truth
is
nobly
spoken
Its
respect
you
got
to
pay
So
fill
your
cup
and
lift
it
up
And
clink,
here's
how
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!!!
(Angie
gets
the
idea
to
leave
Philadelphia
and
join
the
foreign
legion.)
Well,
well,
well
"Let's
have
a
drink
on
it"
To
the
fightin'
legionaries!
To
their
outposts
in
the
desert
And
their
gorgeous
Croix
de
Guerres
To
sailing
for
Bengasi
On
a
rusty
scow!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!!!
(Angie
leaves
to
go
to
Bengasi.)
(Spoken)
I
can't
let
him
get
away!
We'll
never
get
things
patched
up!
(Screams)
Sir!
A
moment
of
your
time
Sir!
Just
a
moment!
What
do
you
do
when
the
water's
gone
And
there's
no
turning
back?
You're
four
days
from
the
fort
The
Arab
renegades
attack!
And
the
blistering
sun
keeps
burning
Reinforcement
can't
come
through
What
do
you
do
about
it?
What
do
you
do
about
it?!
(Spoken)
Do
you
blister
easily?
(Spoken)
Yes,
as
a
matter
of
fact.
(Spoken)
Ah,
the
foreign
legion
is
not
for
you.
Drink
up.
(Angie
gets
the
idea
to
renounce
his
name
and
fortune
and
become
a
regular
person.)
Well,
well,
well
"Let's
have
a
drink
on
it"
To
the
simple
average
life!
To
wages
every
Friday
That
you
bring
home
to
the
wife!
To
the
sweat
of
honest
labor
On
your
average
brow
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!!!
(Spoken)
Hey!
Set
'em
up
Clancy!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!
(Angie
goes
out
to
make
a
new
name
for
himself.)
What
do
you
do
when
you
loose
your
job?
The
rent
is
overdue?
The
Landlord
throws
you
in
the
street
The
Wife,
the
kiddies,
too!
And
the
sleet
and
snow
are
falling
And
you
got
no
place
to
go?
(Man
starts
crying)
(Spoken)
Will
you
shut
your
face!?
Can't
you
see
I'm
talking
to
the
gentleman!?
What
do
you
do
about
it?
What
do
you
do
about
it?!
(Spoken)
The
simple,
average
life,
sir.
No.
(Angie
decides
to
go
off
to
China
and
make
a
fortune
in
the
pearl
trade.)
Well,
well,
well
"Let's
have
a
drink
on
it"
Here's
to
China
'cross
the
bay
To
them
darling
little
oysters
And
the
pearls
they
give
away!
A
man
could
make
his
fortune
there
I
will
somehow!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
I'm
off
to
China
now!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dillydallying
He's
off
to
China
now!!!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
another
one,
Sir!!!
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying!
(Musical
Interlude)
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
I'm
off
to
China
now!
Well,
well,
well,
One
last
drink
on
it
Then
you're
on
your
merry
way!
What
do
you
do
when
your
sampan
springs
a
leak
in
China
Bay?
When
the
truth
is
nobly
spoken
It's
respect
you
got
to
pay
Them
Oriental
Pirates
come
and
take
your
pearls
away!
So
fill
your
cup
and
lift
it
up
And
clink,
here's
how
(Spoken)
Do
you
eat
fish
heads?
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!
(Spoken)
Are
you
immune
to
yellow
fever?
No
shilly
shallying
No
dilly
dallying
Let's
have
a
drink
on
it
now!!!
(Spoken
during
the
singing)
Bubonic
Plague!
Monsoons!
Locusts!
The
Screaming
abdabs!
Oh
the
shame
of
it
all!
(The
song
ends
with
a
giant
bar
fight.)
