Bitter Beer - song lyrics

BITTER BEER. 
The subject of my little song is one I hold most dear. It supports our Constitutiou and it will for many a year; John Bull would surely be defunct or else look rather queer. If Bass & Co. should cease to brew their glorious Bitter Beer. 
Chorus. Allsop, Bass & Co., they each deseve a monument; So give them while we're here. Three cheers for Bass and Allsop, And their glorious Bitter Beer. I've tasted Hock and Claret, to Madeira and Moselle; Not one of those boshy wines revives this languid swell; Of all complaints from A to Zed, the fact is very clear, There's no disease but what's been cured by Bass's Bitter Beer. Allsop, Bass & Co., they each deserve, &c. 
I've lived in Scotland many years, and drank its mountain dew, I don't deny but what it's good and a stimulant it's true; I'm far from being predjudiced as many think I fear, But give to me a cooling draught of Bass's Bitter Beer. Allsop, Bass & Co , they each deserve, &c.
