CHORUS: | Oh! the pride of the Belgian bowmen, | ||
He's the best of us, young and old! | |||
Hail him king of the village yeomen, | |||
One of his shafts has hit the gold! | |||
Fill your glasses, Lads and lasses, |
|||
Dance around him and gaily sing! | |||
Drain a rummer, To the mummer, |
|||
He's the noble archer king! | |||
Fill the beaker with golden Rhenish, | |||
Fill the mug to frothing brim! | |||
Every goblet and glass replenish, | |||
Here's to our king, a health to him! | |||
