Chorus:
Ale, Ale, Glorious Ale
Served up in pewter it tells its own tale.
Some folks like radishes, some curleye kale
But give I boiled parsnips
And a great dish of taters
And a lump of fatty bacon
And a pint of good ale

When I was a young man my father did say,
The summer is comin', it's time to make hay.
And when hay's been carted, don't you ever fail
To drink gaffer's health in a pint of good ale

[Chorus]

Our MP's in parliament, our faith for to keep
And I hope now we put him there, he won't sit and sleep
But he'll always get my vote if he doesn't fail
To keep down the price of a pint of good ale

[Chorus]

Some folks is teetotallers, they drink water neat
It must rot their guts and give 'em damp feet
But as for my part, I know I'll not fail
On boiled beef and bacon and good English ale

[Chorus]
