[English]

Drink up all of you people

Order anything that you see

And have fun you happy people

The drink and the laugh's on me

I try to think that love's not around

Still it's uncomfortably near

My poor old heart, it ain't gaining any ground

Because my angel eyes, she ain't here

Angel eyes that old Devil sent

They glow unbearably bright

And need I say that my love's been misspent?

Misspent with angel eyes tonight

Drink up, drink up all of you people

Order anything that you see

And have fun, have lots of fun, all you happy people

The drink and the laughs are on me

Pardon me but I gotta run

The fact's uncommonly clear

I'd like to find who's now the number one

And why my angel eyes, she ain't here

'Scuse me while I disappear
