No. 7 - Finale to the Prologue
Chorus: | Come, lads and lassies, Fill up your glasses, Let's frolic while yet we may, For time is flying and love is sighing. 'Tis folly to trust delay. Tomorrow we'll die; let's live today. So here's to the girl that's true. To the one who's pretty and wise and witty I drink from my heart to you. |
Indians: | To-wa gale-lay-a Riong dong-wa, To-wa gale-lay-a Riong dong... |
Soldiers: | While we're fighting like a lion, we're fleeced like a lamb. We're never paid a penny and the government's a sham. |
Indians: | ...gale-laya |
Soldiers: | We now declare with emphasis, Goodbye, New Amsterdam, Goodbye, New Amsterdam, dam, dam... |
Dutch Girls: | Come, lads and lassies, Fill up your glasses... |
Soldiers: | We're never paid a penny and the government's a sham, |
Indians: | ...gale-laya |
Dutch Girls: | Come, lads and lassies, Fill up your glasses... Let's frolic while yet we may, |

Soldiers: | We now declare with emphasis, Goodbye, New Amsterdam, Goodbye, New Amsterdam, dam, dam... |
Dutch Girls: | Come, lads and lassies, Fill up your glasses... Let's frolic while yet we may, |
Indians: | ...gale-laya |
Dutch Girls: | Come, lads and lassies, Fill up your glasses... Let's frolic while yet we may. |
Indians: | To-wa gale-lay-a To-wa gale-lay-a Riong dong-wa, Riong dong-wa, |
All: | To-wa. |
