Some have wine, but canna dine,
while some have none and want it.
But we have wine, and we can dine,
so let the Lord be thankit!

Some have cake, but are not awake,
while some have none und want it.
But we have cake, and we are awake.
So let the Lord be thankit!

Some have beer, but are not clear,
while some have none and want it.
But we have beer, and we are clear,
so let the Lord be thankit!

Some have whisky, but are not frisky,
while some have none and want it.
But we have whisky, and we are frisky,
so let the Lord be thankit!

Some have bread, but are quite dead,
while some have none and want it.
But we have bread, and are not dead,
so let the Lord be thankit!
