Lyrics
Beer, Beer, Beer, Tidily Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer...

A long time ago, way back in history

When all there was to drink was nothing but cups of teas

(But we like tea

Yeah, but we like beer more)

Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops

And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.

He must have been an admiral, a sultan or a King

And to his praises we shall always sing,

Look what he has done for us; he's filled us up with cheer

Regent bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer.

Beer, Beer, Beer, Tidily Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer...

The Silken Sail, The Mermaid’s Milk, the Hole in the Wall as well

One thing you can be sure of it's Charlie's beer they sell

So all you lads and lassie at eleven o'clock you stop

For four short seconds remember Charlie Mops

Eins, zwei, drei, vier!

He must have been an admiral, a sultan or a King

And to his praises we shall always sing,

Look what he has done for us; he's filled us up with cheer

Regent bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer.

Beer, Beer, Beer, Tidily Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer...

A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops you stir it around with a stick

The kind of lubrication to make your ticker tick

Forty pints of wallop a day will keep away the crack

It's only half a copper piece, and three times that in tax!

Eins, zwei, drei, vier!

He must have been an admiral, a sultan or a King

And to his praises we shall always sing,

Look what he has done for us; he's filled us up with cheer

Regent bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer.

Beer, Beer, Beer, Tidily Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer, Tidily Beer, Beer, Beer...

Regent bless Charlie Mops!
