The Pogues - "Beer, Beer, Beer"

1 2 3 Beer Beer Beer tiddly Beer Beer Beer.

A long time ago, way back in history
When all there was to drink was nothing but cups of tea
Along came a man, by the name of Charlie Mopps
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hopps

(CHORUS)
He might have been an admiral, a sultan, or a king
And to his praises we shall always sing
Ah look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
The Lord bless Charlie Mopps,
The man who invented beer beer beer beer tidilly beer beer beer.

The purest bar, the fanciest pub, the hole in the wall as well
Ah one thing you can be sure of, it's Charlie's beer they sell
So come on all me lucky lads, eleven o'clock she stops
For five drop seconds remember Charlie Mopps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5

(CHORUS)
He might have been an admiral, a sultan, or a king
And to his praises we shall always sing
Ah look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
The Lord bless Charlie Mopps,
the man who invented beer beer beer beer tidilly beer beer beer.

A bushel of malt, a barrell of hopps, and stir it around with a stick
The sort of lubrication that make your engine tick
Ah 40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks
It's only 8 and 1/8 a pint, and one-and-6 in tax.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5

He might have been an admiral, a sultan, or a king
And to his praises we shall always sing
Ah look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
The Lord bless Charlie Mopps,
the man who invented beer beer beer beer tidilly beer beer beer tidilly beer beer beer
We'll all miss Charlie Mopps!
