¶Lyrics / Text

A catch that is merry and gay, when voices are rightly in tune, will clear up the most gloomy day, and turn a November to June, Come then my good friends let us try, to banish all sorrow and care, let no man complain he's a dry, when the bottle and glass are so near, Since music and wine thus agree, leave riches to Clive the Nabob, we're richer and happier than he, who thus in a catch bear a bob.
