| The coffee room is open | U |
| I mingle in its crowd | V |

| Then here it goes a bumper | E |
| The toast it shall be mine | L |
| In schiedam or in sherry | O |
| Tokay or hock of Rhine | L |
| It well deserves the brightest | W |
| Where sunbeam ever swam | A |
| The Girl I love in England | F |
| I drink at Rotterdam | A |
