Porter Wagoner sings Eat, Drink And Be Merry.

Verse 4, Line 1 - Bear in mind that this is a very old song. That line meant something different back then.

GAY

adjective, -er, -est

1. having or showing a merry, lively mood: gay spirits; gay music.

2. bright or showy: gay colors; gay ornaments.

3. given to or abounding in social or other pleasures: a gay social season.

4. licentious; dissipated; wanton: The baron is a gay old rogue with an eye for the ladies.

If you're somewhat younger and if you decide to follow Porter's advice from this song, don't do what that line means to you, in today's lingo.

"Little heart you've been broken

Many times before

But the wound always heals

No matter how sore

But this time is different

And I can't tell you why

Eat drink and be merry

Tomorrow you'll cry

They say that time will

Erase all my sorrow

Well, I guess since I've lost you

I'll find out tomorrow

Be gay while she's with you

Don't break down and cry

Eat drink and be merry

Tomorrow you'll cry

A heart that is stricken

With hate and with lies

Will soon be forsaken

And left there to die

Well, I guess that's what happened

She said her goodbye

Eat drink and be merry

Tomorrow you'll cry"

I don't think you needed to explain the "gay" thing. Anyone listening to this song should be a little more mature about such things. Hell, I cover Hank's Jambalaya an nobody complains about pick guitar filled fruit jar and be gay-o, and I'm 25, LOL.
