There\u2019s wine in the cup, Vancouver,
\nAnd there\u2019s warmth in my heart for you,
\nWhile I drink to your health, your youth, and your wealth,
\nAnd the things that you yet will do.
\nIn a vintage rare and olden,
\nWith a flavour fine and keen,
\nFill the glass to the edge, while I stand up to pledge
\nMy faith to my western queen.<\/p>\n

Then here\u2019s a Ho! Vancouver, in wine of the bonniest hue,
\nWith a hand on my hip and the cup at my lip,
\nAnd a love in my life for you.
\nFor you are a jolly good fellow, with a great, big heart, I know;
\nSo I drink this toast
\nTo the \u201cQueen of the Coast.\u201d
\nVancouver, here\u2019s a Ho!<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s to the days that are coming,
\nAnd here\u2019s to the days that are gone,
\nAnd here\u2019s to your gold and your spirit bold,
\nAnd your luck that has held its own;
\nAnd here\u2019s to your hands so sturdy,
\nAnd here\u2019s to your hearts so true,
\nAnd here\u2019s to the speed of the day decreed
\nThat brings me again to you.<\/p>\n

Then here\u2019s a Ho! Vancouver, in wine of the bonniest hue,
