[Verse 1]
The grand old painter died last night
His paintings on the wall
Before he went, he bade us well
And said goodnight to us all
[Chorus]
"Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more"
"Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more"
[Verse 2]
3 o'clock in the morning, I'm getting ready for bed
It came without a warning
But I'll be waiting for you baby
I'll be waiting for you there
[Chorus]
So drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
[French interlude]
[Bridge]
Jet!
Jet!
Jet!
Jet!
[Chorus]
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
I'll be waiting for you baby
[Chorus]
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more (drink, drink)
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I can't drink any more
[French interlude]
[Outro]
Drink to me, drink to my health
You know I... hey-hoh
Ho, hey-hoh
Ho, hey-hoh
Ho, hey-hoh
Ho, hey-hoh
Ho, hey-hoh
Ho, hey-hoh
Ho, hey-hoh
Ho, hey-hoh
