There's wine in the cup VancouverA
And there's warmth in my heart for youB
While I drink to your health your youth and your wealthC
And the things that you yet will doB
In a vintage rare and oldenD
With a flavour fine and keenE
Fill the glass to the edge while I stand up to pledgeF
My faith to my western queenE
-
Then here's a Ho Vancouver in wine of the bonniest hueB
With a hand on my hip and the cup at my lipG
And a love in my life for youB
For you are a jolly good fellow with a great big heart I knowH
So I drink this toastI
To the Queen of the CoastI
Vancouver here's a HoH
-
And here's to the days that are comingJ
And here's to the days that are goneK
And here's to your gold and your spirit boldL
And your luck that has held its ownM
And here's to your hands so sturdyN
And here's to your hearts so trueB
And here's to the speed of the day decreedO
That brings me again to youB
-
Then here's a Ho Vancouver in wine of the bonniest hueB
With a hand on my hip and the cup at my lipG
And a love in my life for youB
For you are a jolly good fellow with a great big heart I knowH
So I drink this toastI
To the Queen of the CoastI
Vancouver here's a HoH
