- good cheer my friend,
- Rebecca Parham & Nacie: ...through every kind of weather.
- Make the bulkheads ring
- ...as we sing loud and strong!
- Fill up the flowing steins again,
- ...with foam on every lip.
- We'll give a skoll and shout jawohl,
- ...in lasting fellowship!
- Nacie: And when we spy our Lorelei...
- ...with captivating waves,
- Rebecca Parham & Nacie: ...may we drink to love all our long live days!

- Good cheer my friend,
- ...through every kind of weather.
- Emphasize his fame in a drinking song!
- He's strong and independent,
- ...can decipher any tree!
- But be careful rounding corners!
- He can be a tad jumpy.
- His love is overflowing,
- ...and will never go away!
- Let us toast to dad here on Father's Day!

Origin[]
Rebecca's entire childhood was spent listening to her dad only sing the first fifteen words and then complain about not knowing the rest. When she got older, he started bugging her to learn it for him. So on Father's Day of 2011, she has gone out of my way and has undertaken one of the biggest gift animatics she have ever made for her father.
