You foam within our glasses, you lusty golden brew,
Whoever imbibes takes
fire from you.
The young and the old sing your praises,
Here's to beer,
Here's to cheer,
Here's to beer! Source: From the opera, "The Bartered
Bride"
Why, we'll smoke and drink our beer.
For I
like a drop of good beer, I does.
I'ze fond of good beer, I is.
Let gentlemen
fine sit down to their wine.
But we'll all of us here stick to our beer. Source:
Old Somersetshire English song
Mother's in the kitchen washing
out the jugs,
Sister's in the pantry bottling the suds,
Father's in the
cellar mixin' up the hops,
Johnny's on the front porch watchin' for the cops. Source:
Prohibition song
Champagne costs too much,
Whiskey's too
rough,
Vodka puts big mouths in gear.
This little refrain
Should help
to explain
Why it's better to order a beer!
In heaven
there is no beer...
That's why we drink ours here.
For
every wound, a balm.
For every sorrow, cheer.
For every storm, a calm.
For every thirst, a beer.
He that buys land buys many stones.
He that buys flesh buys many bones.
He that buys eggs buys many shells,
But he that buys good beer buys nothing else.
Here's
to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty
girl and an honest one.
A cold beer-and another one! Source: Old Irish
toast
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be
thy drink.
Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
At home as it is in
the pub.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is The beer, The bitter, The
lager.
Forever and ever,
Barmen. Source: Anon |
