WE WON'T GO HOME TILL THE MORNING.
A COMIC SONG.
We won't go home till the morning
In the orient sky is dawning,
We won't go home till the morning,
Until it is break of day.
We'll banish care and sorrow,
And business till to-morrow—
We'll sing old songs and snatches,
Blithe glees and merry catches
And hear the chimes at midnight,
So cheerily, cheerily play!
In the orient sky is dawning,
We won't go home till the morning,
Until it is break of day.
We'll banish care and sorrow,
And business till to-morrow—
We'll sing old songs and snatches,
Blithe glees and merry catches
And hear the chimes at midnight,
So cheerily, cheerily play!

CHORUS.
We won't go home till the morningIn the orient sky is dawning—
We won't go home till the morning,
Until it is break of day!
We'll drink off bumper glasses,
And toast our fav'rite lasses,
Nor care how quick time passes,
Nor how long he may stay!
We've lost the lov'd, the near—
We've seen depart the dear—
Yet age has not so chill'd us,
Nor with indiff'rence fill'd us,
But we'll hear the chimes at midnight,
For once, come what, come may!
And toast our fav'rite lasses,
Nor care how quick time passes,
Nor how long he may stay!
We've lost the lov'd, the near—
We've seen depart the dear—
Yet age has not so chill'd us,
Nor with indiff'rence fill'd us,
But we'll hear the chimes at midnight,
For once, come what, come may!
We won't go home, &c.
