W:When brings the post the black-sealed letter W:Or my dear girl forgets to write W:Tra lira! W:I drink from sheer melancholie W:A little glass Crambambuli W:rambimbambambuli Crambambuli W: W:Were I the Kaiser Maximilian W:A noble order in the land W:Tra lira! W:I'd make, and paint in bright vermillion W:This motto on a silver band W:TRa lira! W:"Touiours fidele et sanssouci, W:C'est l'ordre du Crambambuli!" W:rambimbambambuli Crambambuli W: W: W:Version I originally had W: W:1 W:Crambambuli is the title W:Of that good old song we love the best; W:It is the means of health most vital, W:When evil fortunes us molest. W:From evening late till morning free, W:I'll drink my glass, crambambuli, W:Cram bim bam bu li, cram-bam-bu-li. W: W:2 W:Were I into an inn ascended, W:Most like some noble cavalier, W:I leave the bread and roast untended, W:And bid them bring the corkscrew here. W:When blows the post-boy tran tan te, W:Then to my glass, crambambuli, W:Cram bim bam, bam bu li, crambambuli. W: W:3 W:Were I a prince of power unbounded, W:Like Kaiser Maximillian,- W:For me were there an order founded, W:'Tis this device I'd hang thereon: W:"Toujours fidele et sans souci, W:C'est l'ordre du crambambuli," W:Cram bim bam, bam bu li, crambambuli. W: W:4 W:Crambambuli, it still shall cheer me, W:When every other joy is past; W:When o'er the glass, friend, death draws near me, W:To mar my pleasure at the last. W:'Tis then we'll drink in company, W:The last glass of crambambuli, W:Cram bim bam, bam bu li, crambambuli.
