Mourning Of The King

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!
