No. 14 - Madrigal
Tenor: | Life inside a Dutch distillery Does not leave much time for play; |
1st. Baritone: | Here and there, like dull artillery |
Both: | On we tramp the live-long day. |
Baritones: | Though devoted to our master, |
All: | Ev'ry laggard he'll dismiss; But it's hard to walk much faster When you carry things like this. |
Baritones: | Bottles, bottles, Bottles, bottles, |
All: | That's our daily roundelay! |
Baritones: | Bottles, bottles, Bottles, bottles, |
All: | Bottles all the live-long day! Bottles, bottles, Bottles, bottles, Though quite muscular and strong, One gets tired of fetching bottles, Blessed bottles all day long! |
Tenor: | Bottles, bottles, |
Baritones: | Bottles, bottles, |
Bass: | Bottles, bottles, |
All: | Bottles, bottles... One gets tired of fetching bottles, Blessed bottles all day long! |
