(John Lawless)
Well, well, well.
« Let’s have drink on it ».
As me father used to say.
When the truth is nobly spoken.
It’s respect you’ve got to pay.
So fill your cup and lift it up and clink here’s how.
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
Let’s have a drink on it now.
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
Let’s have a drink on it now.

(Angie)
Right ?

(John Lawless)
Right.
Well, well, well.
Let’s have drink on it.
To the fightin’ Legionnares.
To their outposts in the desert.
And their gorgeous Croix de Guerres.

(Angie)
To sailing for Bengasi on a rusty scow.

(John Lawless)
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
Let’s have a drink on it now.

(John Lawless et Angie)
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
Let’s have a drink on it now.

(John Lawless)
What do you do when the water’s gone.
And there’s no turning back ?
You’re four days from the fort.
The Arab renegades attack ?
And the blistering sun keeps burning.
Reinforcements can’t get through.
What do you do about it ?
What do you do about it ?
Do you blister easily ?

(Angie)
Yes, as a matter of fact.

(John Lawless)
Ah, the Foreign Legion’s not for you.
Right.

(Angie)
Right.

(John Lawless)
Well, well, well.
Let’s have drink on it.
To the simple average life.
To the wages every Friday.
That you bring home to the wife.
To the sweat of honest labor on the average brow.
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
Let’s have a drink on it now.

(John Lawless et Angie)
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
Let’s have a drink on it now.

(John Lawless)
What do you do when you lose your job.
The rent is overdue ?
The landlord throws you in the street.
The wife, the kiddies too ?
And the sleet and snow are falling.
And you got no place to go.
What do you do about it ?
What do you do about it ?
The simple average life, sir ? No.
Right.

(Angie)
Right.

(John Lawless)
Right.

(Angie)
Well, well, well.
Let’s have drink on it.
Here’s to China across the bay.
To the darling little oysters.
And the pearls the give away.
A man could make his fortune there. I will somehow.
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
I’m off to China now.

(Clients)
Well, well, well.
One last drink on it.
Then you’re on your merry way.

(John Lawless)
What do you do when your sampan springs a leak in China Bay ?

(Clients)
When the truth is nobly spoken.
It’s respect you’ve got to pay.

(John Lawless)
If Oriental pirates come to take your pearls away ?

(Clients)
So fill your cup and lift it up and clink here’s how.
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
Let’s have a drink on it now.
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying.
Let’s have a drink on it now.
