Glorious Beer - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
GLORIOUS BEER. Copyright, 1895, by Francis, Day & Hunter. Words by Steve Leggett. Music by Will Goodwin. 
Now I won't sing of sherbet and water, For sherbet with beer will not rhyme; The workingman can't afford champagne, It's a bit more than five cents a time; So I'll sing you a song of a gargle, A gargle that I love so dear; I allude to that grand institution, That beautiful tonic called beer, beer, beer! 
Chorus. Beer, beer, glorious beer! Fill yourselves right up to here! Drink a good deal of it, make a good meal of it, Stick to your old-fashioned beer; Don't be afraid of it, drink till you're made of it-Now, all together, a cheer! Up with the sale of it, down with a pail of it. Glorious, glorious beer! 
It's the daddy of all lubricators, The best thing there is for your neck; Can be used as a gargle or lotion By persons of every sect. Now we know who the goddess of wine was, But was there a goddess of beer? If so, let us drink to her health, boys, And wish that we'd just got her here, here, here!- Chorus. 
So up, up with brandies and sodas, But down, down, and down with the beer; It's good for you when you are hungry; You can eat it without any fear; So sip up the beer while you're able, Of four-half let's all have our fill; And I know you'll all Join me In wishing Good luck to my dear Uncle Bill, Bill, Bill!-Chorus.
