W:Lives as he ought to live, And dies a jolly fellow.

W:But he who drinks just what he likes And getteth half seas over, 
W:Will live until he die, perhaps, And then lie down in clover. 
W:
W:4
W:The man who kisses a pretty girl And goes and tells his mother, 
W:Ought to have his lips cut off, And never kiss another. 
W:

W:The maiden who enjoys a kiss and comes back for another, 
W:She's a boon to all mankind and soon to be a mother.

W:Come into the garden Maud And don't be so particular, 
W:For if the grass is very very wet, We'll do it perpendicular. 
W:
W:7
W:If I had a pile of bricks I'd build my chimney higher. 
W:That would stop the neighbour's cat from pissing in the fi-er.
