Come
fill up your glasses
with whiskey and beer
And drink a full glass
to a happy new year
To our sisters and brothers,
and may they live long
So lift up your voices
and join in this song
So we'll fill up our glasses
and drink once again
To peace on this earth
and goodwill among men
Long life to the miners,
the whole world around
Who spend all their days
in a hole underground
Whose road is a tunnel,
whose day is the night
Out of danger and darkness
they bring power and light
So we'll fill up our glasses
and drink once again
To peace on this earth
and goodwill among men
Our thanks to the fishermen
and safe may they toil
And also to the farmer
who turns up the soil
To the plowmen and shepherds
and all men of worth
Whose joy is to harvest
the fruits of the earth
So we'll fill up our glasses
and drink once again
To peace on this earth
and goodwill among men
Here's to drivers and firemen
and the rest of the team
Who keep the stock rolling
by diesel and steam
To the cleaners and shunters
who work night and day
And the track -laying gangs
on the permanent way
So we'll fill up our glasses
and drink once again
To peace on this earth
and goodwill among men
Add toast to the casual laboring man
Who lives where his work is,
who works where he can
To the builders and Spiderman
and bold engineers
May your wages keep rising,
lads, over the years
So we'll fill up our glasses
and drink once again
To peace on this earth
and goodwill among men.
To writers and artists,
then let's drink a health.
To the people whose hopes
and whose dreams are our wealth,
Whose tools are but canvas or
pa per and pen,
Whose harvest is the future
and the progress of men.
So we'll fill up our glasses
and drink once again
To peace on this earth
and goodwill among men
We'll drink a long life
to our sweethearts and wives
And the ladies, being willing,
will greet us likewise
May your children be many,
your troubles be few
May you treasure the day
you made one out of two
So we'll fill up our glasses
and drink once again
To peace on this earth
and goodwill among men.
Let's drink to our children
and let us prepare
A world where they'll live
free
from sorrow and care.
A world where goodwill
among men is the law.
A world without fallout,
a world without war.
So, we'll fill up our glasses
and drink once again
To peace on this earth
and goodwill among men.
