The world is a tavern br The door is open wide - br All are invited br To enter inside. br br We pay with a handshake br For wine and the beers br To bury away br Our worries and tears. br br We dance to the rhythm br Of human hearts' beat - br The world is a tavern br Where all people meet. br br The women's soft bodies br Ripe as a peach br The secrets of love br Are willing to teach. br br Life is a tavern - br Before it closes down br Dance to the music br While you are in town.....
