Bartender, please a round of cheer,
For all the friends we've gathered here.
Strangers they find their way inside,
Strangers no more when they abide.
At Callahan's a friendly smile
A kindly ear, for just a while
Let's leave the world and all our care
Behind, come, take a waiting chair
And share a drink, a tale, an ear;
Bartender? Please, a round of cheer!
