When the glass is full,

We see this cup.

If God wanted us sober,

He'd knock the glass over,

So while it is full we drink up!

[Verse]

A toast to Mary,

A girl I once loved,

Oh Lord, why do things have to die?

If drinking beer,

Could bring her back here,

When the glass is full,

So while it is full we drink up!

[Verse]

Here's to the old house,

On Lily Pond Lane,

And the room where my boots used to rest.

One day I gave

The foundation a shake,

But my home did not pass the test,

No my home did not pass the test.

[Chorus]

When the glass is full,

A D

Drink up! Drink up!

This maybe the last time

We see this cup.

If God wanted us sober,

He'd knock the glass over,
