Lyrics

The workday is done
At the setting of the sun
I hear a sirens call
From a beckoning bar stool
I got a hunger and a thirst
I think I’ll fix the latter first
So, I drag my bones down to the local
I push through the saloon doors
And see no carpet on the floors
Seems there’s been a bit of renovation
oI order up a beer
The barman says please be more clear
I’m gonna need a lot more information
We got a pale ale
A weizenbock
A pilsener without the froth
A blonde or a dark or a bruin
D’ya want a Porter a Weissbier
A Dubbell or wheat beer
Or an ale heavy, light or new
A standard or a premium
A lambic a saison
A stout or a nitro
A kolsch or a faro
I said mate, I just want a lager mate
The barman looked me up and down
Like I was some kind of clown
And I swear a hush descended on the venue
He grunted and he sneered
And he tugged upon his beard
And he disdainfully he handed me a menu
There was an IPA, an APA
A radler made from chardonnay
A bitter with a berry infusion
There was something called a dortmunder
A stout with hints of lavender
And coconut to add to the confusion
There was kriek and a steam
And a triple malted cream
An alcoholic ginger beer
You know where it’s going here
They didn’t have a simple bloody lager
Now if you’re asking me
Beer’s a simple recipe
You only need a handful of ingredients
Take malted barley stew
Add some yeast to make it booze
And serve chilled for maximum enjoyment
Ya don’t need
Bananas or oysters
Mustard seeds or coffee beans
That pass in a feline’s poo
Cannabis or ginger, beard yeast or chilli
Or Frankincense and Myrrh – Jesus H
Keep it simple stupid
extra flavours are rooted
I’m not trying to be rude
You can shove your botanicals
Up your pale ale
Keep my lager true blue
Just clean and crisp
No unnecessary bits
A beer with nothin
Weird in it
The same one my
Grandfather sipped
A simple lager’s the brew I choose
