Hey beer hearts!
King is dead, now off your hats!
Hey beer hearts
Hail your king and drain your mugs!
As he'd born they brought him pint
Gulped it little baby
Never drunk from mother's dug
Water made him crazy
Sober ruled with iron fist
Blind drunk he fought bravely
If the foes are like in mist
One should smash them gaily
Follow sign of our king
Rise your mug and drain it
Lazy serf and noble man
Please repast decedent
Let this pyre last for days
Let's be on a bender
For hang-over to take none
For his peace. Remember!
Let us drink for beer king once!
Let us drink for beer king twice!
Let us drink for beer king once more
Slainte mhath!
Hey beer hearts!
King is dead, now off your hats!
Hey beer hearts
Hail the king and drain your mugs!
Jolly but the end was sad
Morning heartburn dreadful
Was no mug before his bed
Was no brimmer half-full
As he lied they brought him mug
Sovereign took it faintly
Drained the water, cursed his men
Breathed his last, abated
Let us drink for beer king once!
Let us drink for beer king twice!
Let us drink for beer king once more
Slainte mhath!
(The King's voice): I had fought stout and I had fought lean,
But it was hang-over I could not win
I was ready to drop and I really dropped
It was water that killed me, damn forever that slop
Hey beer hearts!
King is dead, now off your hats!
Hey beer hearts
Hail your king and drain your mugs!
Follow sign of our king
Rise your mug and drain it
Lazy serf and noble man
Please repast decedent
Let this pyre last for days
Let's be on a bender
For hang-over to take none
For his peace. Remember!
Let us drink for beer king once!
Let us drink for beer king twice!
Let us drink for beer king once more
Slainte mhath!
Hey beer hearts!
King is dead, now off your hats!
Hey beer hearts
Hail your king and drain your mugs!
