I managed to sort of figure out the lyrics:
One time more!
Raise your glasses high!
As before!
Raise your glasses high!
(To the one we all can boast?)
Even though we’re dry tonight
There’s room for one more toast!
Come on and drink!
Wet your whistle and drink!
If they want the world dry
Why we will obey!
We’ll just drink it that way!
Come on and drink!
Sarsaparilla for me
What’s it matter the time
For drinkin a brew
Long as we can drink to you!
And to the soldiers
And to the sailors
We’ll drink to butchers
And even tailors
And while we’re at it
We’ll keep on thinking
Of things to drink to
We’ll keep on drinking scotch on dry and drink to
(Ach du lieber das ist himmel!)
drink!
Wet your whistle and drink!
If they want the world dry
Why we will obey!
We’ll just drink it that way!
Come on and drink!
Sarsaparilla for me
What’s it matter the time
For drinkin a brew
Long as we can drink to you!
I don’t know what they say after sarsaparilla, but it sounds like “for me”.

Thank you so much. Although, I always heard it as "to keep on drinking scotch and rye and (unintelligible).
