Man that Waters the Workers' Beer 
Man that Waters the Workers' Beer (Paddy Ryan) 
I am the man, the very fat man, That waters the workers' beer I am the man, the very fat man, That waters the workers' beer
 And what do I care if it makes them ill,
 If it makes them terribly queer I've a car, a yacht, and an aeroplane, And I waters the workers' beer 
Now when I waters the workers' beer, I puts in strychnine Some methylated spirits, And a can of kerosine
 Ah, but such a brew so terribly strong,
 It would make them terribly queer So I reaches my hand for the watering-can And I waters the workers' beer 
Now a drop of good beer is good for a man When he's tired, thirsty and hot And I sometimes have a drop myself, From a very special pot
 For a strong and healthy working class
 Is the thing that I most fear So I reaches my hand for the watering-can And I waters the workers' beer 
Now ladies fair, beyond compare, Be you maiden or wife Spare a thought for such a man Who leads such a lonely life
 For the water rates are frightfully high,
 And the meths is terribly dear And there ain't the profit there used to be In watering the workers' beer
