A Toast to Prohibition

Fill your glasses high

With the best of scotch or rye

Let me hear those highball glasses clinking

Now let's drink a toast

To the land we love the most

And the law that started people drinking

Here's to the Eighteenth Amendment

Long may America be dry

Things are going very well

For the gentlemen who sell

To the many thirsty gentlemen who buy

Here's to my pal Mr. Volstead

And to the members of his crew

Just as long as there's a throat

For what just came off the boat

Three cheers for the red, white and blue!

Hurrah for the land of the free

We can smile with conditions very cheesy

Because we are happy to be

Among the millions of civilians speaking easy

Get a cup (Get a cup)

Fill it up (Fill it up)

With the drink you love the most

Get a stein (Get a stein)

Full of wine (Full of wine)

Let us drink another toast

Here's to the Eighteenth Amendment

Long may America be dry

Things are going very well

For the gentlemen who sell

To the many thirsty gentlemen who buy

Here's to my pal Mr. Volstead

And to the members of his crew

Just as long as there's a throat

For what just came off the boat

Three cheers for the red, white and blue!

Three cheers for the red, white and blue!
