Let’s Have a Drink On It Lyrics by Walt Disney Records

The Happiest Millionaire

1967

{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!
{ANGIER]
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
{ANGIER]
To sailing for Bengasi on a rusty scow
{JOHN LAWLESS}
No shilly-shallying, no dilly-dallying
Let's have a drink on it now!
[BOTH]
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?
(spoken)
Do you blister easily?
{ANGIER]
(spoken)
Yes, as a matter of fact
{JOHN LAWLESS}
(spoken)
Ah, the Foreign Legion's not for you
Right
{ANGIER]
(spoken)
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!
[BOTH w/BAR PATRONS}
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?
(spoken)
The simple average life, sir? No
Right!
{ANGIER]
(spoken)
Right!
{JOHN LAWLESS}
(spoken)
Right!
{ANGIER]
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!
[BAR PATRONS}
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?!
[BAR PATRONS]
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?!!
[BAR PATRONS]
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!
