H- A - P - P - Y / We'll Take a Glass Together (From "Grand Hotel")
H - A - P - P - Y Why
Why am I so happy
When they play the Charleston
D - A - N - D - Y Why
Why do I feel dandy
When I dance the Charleston?
Come do the new beat
Sweeping through the old world
Warming up a cold world
Harlem to China
What began in Charleston is now done in London
Ev'rywhere from Podunk to Paris
To Pittsburgh to Peking
To Charleston in South Carolina
Baron! Baron, I want to buy drinks for everyone!
No, what you better do is put that money in a bank
Oh, no, no
Sir, please
Two glasses of champagne
I'd like your most highly regarded kind
It's the Muey-something
I want to drink a toast with my friend here
My wonderful loving friend who's helped me so much
You will take a glass with me, won't you, Baron?
Of course!
Rabadab, rabadabadabadab
Rabadab, rabadabadabadab
We'll take a glass together (Rabbadab rabbadab)
In celebration (Rabbadab rabbadab)
Of our meeting (Rabbadabbadabba dab)
In celebration (Rabbadab rabbadab)
Of our being face to face (Rabbadabba dab daah)
Friendly
Civilized
Members of the race
I'll drink to you! (No, I to you!)
You'll drink to me! (Then you to me!)
I'm sure we two (I know we two)
Will find no finer company (Thank you, Baron)
Rubbadub rubbadubbadubbadub rubbadub rubbadubbadubbadub
We'll take a glass together (Rubbadub rubbadub rubbadub rubbadub)
And we will lift it to the good life (rubbadub)
And as we're lifting it we will most sincerely say (rubbadub)
Prosit (Your health, sir)
Salute (And "Skol")
Nasdrovye (A votre sante)
For one brief moment in this cold and careless day
We'll take a glass together
Rabbadab Rabbadabbadabbadab rabbadab rabbadab
I'll drink to you (No, I to you)
Then vice versa (Then vice versa)
I'm sure it's true (I know it's true)
Things may be bad but could be worse
Absolutely
Rabbadab Rabbadabbadabbadab
We'll ask no why or whether (rubbadub)
We'll spend each moment as it moves us (rubbadub)
Come come my comrade nip the nectar of the day (rubbadub)
Sweet Nectar (Sherry)
Campari
Scotch Whiskey
Chartreuse
A Cognac
An Absinthe Frappe
For one warm moment in a world gone cold and crass
We'll take a glass together
We'll take a glass together and we will lift it to the good life
And as we're lifting it we will most sincerely say
'Prosit', 'Your health, sir' 'Salute' and "Skol', 'Nasdrowje', 'A votre sante'
For one warm moment in the cold and careless day
We'll celebrate (We'll take a glass)
We'll celebrate (We'll take a glass)
We'll celebrate (We'll take a glass)
We'll celebrate (We'll take a glass)
We'll celebrate (We'll take a glass)
We'll celebrate (We'll take a glass)
We'll celebrate (We'll take a glass)
