| O Mr Q Horatius Flaccus | B |
| In praise of many an ancient wine | A |
| You twanged a wickid lyric to Bacchus | B |
| I wondered like a Yankee hick | C |
| If that old stuff contained a kick | C |

| So when upon a Paris card | D |
| I glimpsed a Falernian I said Waiter | E |
| I'll emulate that ancient bard | D |
| And pass upon his merits later | E |

| Suggested that we split a quart | F |

| O Flaccus ere I ceased to drink | G |
| Three glasses and a pair of highballs | B |
| I could not talk I could not think | G |
| For I was pickled to the eyeballs | B |
| If you sopped up Falernian wine | A |
| How did you ever write a line | A |
