**Chorus:**
//Here's to beer that tastes like beer!
An amber glass of wholesome cheer
A noble brew that has no peer
Beer that tastes like beer!//
 
For centurys the brewers craft
Produced the most exquisite draft
When he brews with what he oughter
Barley malt, hops, yeast and water.
 
[//chorus//]
 
Let cheese be cheese and bread be bread
Don't serve us soap or sponge instead
While sausages may cause some fear
For goodness sake let beer be beer!
 
[//chorus//]
 
Among the most requested favors
Please avoid exotic flavors
Fruits and nuts and spices queer
Have no place in honest beer!
 
[//chorus//]
 
Oh stay the bung don't drive the spile
On concoctions rank with adjuncts vile
Cornflakes, rice and rats from sewers
Fine for cooks but not for brewers!
 
[//chorus//]
 
So stick with what is good and true
A beery tasting, smelling brew
Then you'll earn our highest rating
Refreshing yet intoxicating!

[//chorus//]
