Landlord Fill the Flowing Bowl

Lyrics

Landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over
Landlord fill the flowing bowl until it doth run over!

For tonight we’ll Fiji be, for tonight we’ll Fiji be,
For tonight we’ll Fiji be, tomorrow and forever!
For tonight we’ll Fiji be, for tonight we’ll Fiji be,
For tonight we’ll Fiji be, tomorrow and forever!

The man who drinks the Fiji punch and goes to bed
a jolly fellow.

For tonight we’ll Fiji be, for tonight we’ll Fiji be,
For tonight we’ll Fiji be, tomorrow and forever!
For tonight we’ll Fiji be, for tonight we’ll Fiji be,
For tonight we’ll Fiji be, tomorrow and forever!
