“Glorious, Glorious Beer”
I wont not sing of sherbet and water
For sherbet with beer will not rhyme
The working man cares about champagne
It’s a bit more than 5 cents a try
So I’ll sing you a song of a gargle,
A gargle that I love so dear;
I look to that great institution
That wonderful tonic called beer, beer, beer, beer.
Beer, beer, glorious beer,
Fill yourselves right up to here;
Drink a great deal of it,
Make a good meal of it,
Stick to your old fashioned beer.
Now don’t be afraid of it
Drink ’til you’re made of it,
Now all together a cheer
Up with the sale of it,
Down with a pail of it,
Glorious, glorious beer.
It’s the daddy of all lubricators,
The best thing there is for your neck,
Can be used as a gargle or lotion,
For persons of every sect
Now we know who the Goddess wine was
But if is there a Goddess of beer?
If there is let us drink to her name, boys,
And wish that we had her here, here, here, here.
Beer, beer, glorious beer,
Fill yourselves right up to here;
Drink a great deal of it,
Make a good meal of it,
Stick to your old fashioned beer.
Now don’t be afraid of it
Drink ’til you’re made of it,
Now all together a cheer
Up with the sale of it,
Down with a pail of it,
Glorious, glorious beer.
Beer, beer, glorious beer,
Fill yourselves right up to here;
Drink a great deal of it,
Make a good meal of it,
Stick to your old fashioned beer.
Now don’t be afraid of it
Drink ’til you’re made of it,
Now all together a cheer (hurrah!)
Up with the sale of it,
Down with a pail of it,
Glorious, glorious beer.
