Toast
A toast to all you hardy men
who fight the angry sea.
A toast to all the ships and then
a toast to you and me.
A toast to every oilman`s wife
who`s waiting for her man.
A toast to those who risk their life
in doing what they can.
A toast to everyone ashore
who makes the work proceed.
They send out food and tools and more
that everybody need.
A toast to everyone that works
without a brag or boast.
Since I am opening all the corks
- - damn it, just a toast!
