- I have listened to all of your toasts, dear friends,
Since this banquet was first begun;
I have drunk to the health of the ones you loved,
And have shared in your mirth and fun,
So I'll offer a toast to the one I owe most
For all of the fun that I've had,
For I wouldn't be here on earth with its cheer
If it wasn't for dear old Dad.
[1938 CLEAN DIRT; probably much older. Compare with mother toast]
