Since you are a fighter Willingly would I fight you To know myself, if I could match You, to be a good drinker. And if you were a sapper I would dig in competition with you too. Since you are a fighter Willingly would I fight you. You think I'm a bad drinker But I can well drink three jars Truly, or else I'd hide As the worst in the world. Since you are a fighter Willingly would I fight you To know myself, if I could match You, to be a good drinker.
