HAVE A JOLLY TIME.
Copyright, 1898, by Consolidated Music Pub.
Words by Andrew B. Sterling. Music by Harry Von Tilzer.

O'Grady gave a racket down in old Hibernia Hall,
His friends assembled there from far and near;

Admiring friends were crowded all about.
When Mike thought things were getting slow, he'd jump upon the stage,
And like an Indian he'd loudly shout:

Till the day Is dawning, have a Jolly time.
Reeling, spieling, won't go home till morning,

Don't you be a dunce, for you only live but once,
So have a jolly time.

Imbibed with some he never seen before,
And he toasted dear old Ireland, spoke a word for Cuba, too,
Shook hands with ev'ry lady on the floor.
But Mike was only human, soon there was a grand collapse.
The tide within his head was rising fast;
And as he sank down on the floor, he feebly raised his head.
And kept on yelling loudly to the last:-Cho.
