Ho! Beer is great, beer is grand I long to hold one in my hand With frosty head and amber hue Not much that I wouldn't do For a pint of ale or smoky stout Beer goes in, joy comes out Grab a cask and yank the shive Drink 'em up 'til closing time Keep your wine it's not for me Keep your rum I have no need For beer is a welcome sight to see Beer is great, beer is swell I'd throw my mother in a wishing well So I could wish for one pint more Craft the drink I do adore Cider, gin, and vodka no Whiskey's good but don't add coke Ale is a wondrous masterstroke The world has declined but tech couldn't stein And flopped to the flutes and the shots Our fathers would cry and exclaim, "Oh god, why!?" We abandoned the Reinheitsgebot When the sky, it turns black and the land, it is parched And your life becomes weathered and dull We march to the drum of the cask but in ton For there's plenty of glasses to fill 'Cause! Beer is grand, beer is ace Watch me stick one in my face Goblet, glass, or plastic cup I don't really give a Beer is good, if I may Help your hand up smelt away Mark my words and mark them well Beer is great, yes, beer is swell
