Ring the Bells and the Glasses pull away.
He that leads we will set all
all the vessels in the House on their heads.
This a grand Pitcher, pull away,
tis a grand, grand Pitcher Day.
Drink, let us drink, drink, drink.
Let us drink to our power.
We'll have full sixty rounds
and out do, out do the Tower.
Our King we have again, Ring the bells,
now all your Pitchers clatter.
And may he like Gideon all
his Enemies scatter.
