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 till 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
Quaff the drink i do adore
Cider, gin and vodka, no
Whiskey's good but don't add Coke
Ale is a wondrous master stroke

The world has declined the tankard and stein
And flocked 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, butt and tun
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 hang ups melt away
Mark my words and mark them well
Beer is great, yes, beer is swell
