HAVE A BALL

HAVE A BALL

Eat, drink, and be merry.
Go on and have a ball.
There’s nothing wrong with celebration,
Unless it’s the only thing done at all.

Pat yourself right on the back,
Lift a glass up in the air.
Watch and love the dancing girls
Spinning around the dance floor there.

Tell everyone there what you have done,
And of your exploits far and wide.
Don’t forget to mention your treasures,
You shared with no one, not even your bride.

Then stand right up and exalt yourself,
Say that you have no need of man.
Not even of a God in Heaven,
For you have a marvelous self serving plan.

This night your head won’t hit your pillow,
Till your soul is required of thee.
You shall go on to your own rewards,
In Hell for eternity.
