the merry wives of windsor - here's to the men lyrics
here’s to the men we live with
and here’s to the men we love
[verse 1]
my husband he’s a sailor man
his sails confounding me
and when he left to sea, i pined
to see him once again
for he’s a strong and stalwart lad
nimble as he’s fast
and for my part i love to run
my rigging up his mast
[chorus]
here’s to the men we live with
and here’s to the men we love
here’s to the devil who lives below
and the devil who lies above
here’s to the baker who bakes the bread
and the brewer who brews the beer
oh, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
and, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
[verse 2]
my husband is a laborer
he works both day and night
he plows the field, he cuts the wood
he nails the roof down tight
and when he comes home in the eve
he’ll kiss me on the head
to prove he’s still a working stiff
we tumble into bed
[chorus]
here’s to the men we live with
and here’s to the men we love
here’s to the devil who lives below
and the devil who lies above
here’s to the baker who bakes the bread
and the brewer who brews the beer
oh, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
and, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
[verse 3]
back when i first came of age
the men around would flock
hardly did one take his leave
another one would knock
i tasted of their kisses and
their sundry charms did try
but the man who finally caught me had
a twinkle in his eye
[chorus]
here’s to the men we live with
and here’s to the men we love
here’s to the devil who lives below
and the devil who lies above
here’s to the baker who bakes the bread
and the brewer who brews the beer
oh, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
and, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
[verse 4]
now, old men are my darlings, for
they’ve learned to take their time
and patience is no part of any
lover in his prime
it’s older men and wiser are
the ones i like to choose
the fact that they are rich as well
now, what’s a girl to lose?
[chorus]
here’s to the men we live with
and here’s to the men we love
here’s to the devil who lives below
and the devil who lies above
here’s to the baker who bakes the bread
and the brewer who brews the beer
oh, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
and, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
[verse 5]
i fancy a young farmer who’s
out tilling in the field
from dawn to dusk he works the land
therein lies his appeal
for it’s dusk to dawn, he’s in my bed
to reap as well as sow
and as we’re bringing in the sheaves
i’ll make his c-ck [?] grow
[chorus]
here’s to the men we live with
and here’s to the men we love
here’s to the devil who lives below
and the devil who lies above
here’s to the baker who bakes the bread
and the brewer who brews the beer
oh, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
and, what the h-ll, we may as well
drink to each man here
