Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Beer, Beer, Beer / Charlie Mopps
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Beer, Beer, Beer (Charlie Mopps)
Oh a long time ago, in darkest historee
When all we had to drink was nothing but cups of tea
Along came a fellow,name of Charlie Mopps,
Invented a drink, a hell of a stink, made from malt and hops.
Ohh, he ought a' been a Admiral, a Sultan or a King
And to his praises we shall always sing
Look what 'e 'as done for us - he's filled us up wi' cheer
Lord bless Charlie Mopps, the Man Who Invented Beer,beer,beer,
B-b-b-Beer, beer, beer
Well.............Etc etc.
THis is the start - and all I can remember - of what John Wheeler used to sing at Dundee University in the early 70's.
