At the close of the Evening the Watched were set, 
the Guards went the Round, and the Ta-ta-ta-to,  
Ta-ta-ta-to, Ta-ta-ta-to,  
Ta-ta-ta-to, Ta-ta-ta-to,  
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-too was beat.  
The Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-too was beat.

But now younder Stars appear in the Sky, 
And Ta-ra-ra-ra, Ra-ra-ra-ra, 
Ra-ra-ra-ra, Ra-ra-ra-ra,  
Ra-ra-ra-ra, Ra-ra-ra-ra,  
Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra is sounded on High, 
And Ta-ra-ra-ra, Ra-ra-ra-ra,  
Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra is sounded on High.

We shall soon be reliev'd  
then drink, drink away, then drink away,  
then drink, drink, drink away, 
here, here's to you, and to you, and to you. 
Let us drink, let us drink, till 'tis day, 
let, let us drink till 'tis day.
