Subject(s): Mothers
NOW, boys, just a moment! you've all had your say
While enjoying yourselves in so pleasant a way;
We've toasted our sweethearts, our friends, and our wives;
We've toasted each other, wishing all merry lives--
Here's to one in a million, the dearest, the best,
Like the sun in the heavens, she outshines the rest!
Don't frown when I tell you this toast beats all others,
But drink one more toast, boys, a toast to "Our Mothers!"
