This song is typically played/sung with four-part harmony: soprano, alto, tenor, bass.
The soprano part carries the main lyrics, something like this:
<blockquote>
<div align="center">
(French)<br>
Quand je bois du vin clairet<br>
Ami tout tourne tourne tourne<br>
Aussi désormais je bois Anjou ou Arbois<br>
(2x)
Chantons et buvons<br>
A ce flacon faisons la guerre<br>
Chantons et buvons<br>
Mes amis buvons donc.<br>
(2x)
(English)<br>
When I drink a Claret wine,<br>
friends, my head turns, turns, turns<br>
so from now on I'm drinking (wine from) Anjou or Arbois<br>
let's sing and drink,<br>
let's make war on this bottle<br>
let's sing and drink,<br>
my friends, drink up then.
</div>
</blockquote>
An example of sheet music that includes lyrics for all four parts is [https://www.partitionsdechansons.com/telechargement_pdf.php?id=21470 here]
Here's a [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLT8urNPeK7PLt8ZejagKN6ciWkNmgj-JL YouTube playlist] I made that includes a number of versions of this song. The very first version in this list is particularly transcendent.
