Now here is a song thats directed At all of you fellows who drink You may think its alight to get drunk everynight But this story should make you all think 'Cos I've lifet so many beer glasses My back is beginning to stoop But whats ten times worse I've fell foul of the curse The desease known as dread Brewers Droop
Its the droop the droop the dread brewers droop The cause of much dissatisfaction It turns young men old and their sex lives turn cold 'Cos they cant put their thoughts into action
I've drunk beer til its come out my earholes And my one awful regret is Once it was hard as a Grenadier Guard But now its just like a wet lettuce I've tried many ways to arouse it To coax it to lift up its head But it hangs like an old strangled ferret That some one has nailed to a shed
I've sprayed it with starch and with lacquer I've screamed and I've raged and blasphemed And once , in a tantrum , I sang National Anthem But it wouldnt stand up for the queen In desperation I tried levitation To see if the bugger would rise Though I've set it on fire it wont go no higher It just brings the tears to my eyes
Last night I took off my trousers And as I slipped into the bed I could see the wearing black arm bands As a sign of respect for the dead So you've heard my sad tale and its over How my love life's been blighted by booze Once it was proud and looked up at my hat But now it just points at my shoes
