Here's to the Losers

Vic Fontaine sang a Frank Sinatra song called "Here's to the Losers" for Quark and Bashir when they learned that Dax was marrying Worf. It wasn't one of his most requested songs, but he was happy to perform it for them, although it depressed his band after a while. (DS9: "Children of Time")

Lyrics

Here's to those who love not too wisely, know not wisely, but too well To the girl who sighs with envy when she hears that wedding bell To the guy who'd throw a party if he knew someone to call Here's to the losers, bless them all

Here's to those who drink their dinners when that lady doesn't show To the girl who'll wait for kisses underneath that mistletoe To the lonely summer lovers when the leaves begin to fall Here's to the losers, a-bless them all

Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of the rain Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne

Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small Here's to the losers, bless them all

[Musical Interlude]

Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of that rain Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne

Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small Here's to the losers, here's to the losers, here's to the losers Bless them all!
