SANTHARIAN ALE

Gimme a flagon, a barrel, a wagon,
Oh gimme a flask or a pot or a pail,
And do not stop pouring the while I’m adoring,
Yes, gimme a drink of Santharian Ale!
Let there be a table, as broad as is able,
And set down a stool, a stump or a chair,
And if there be doch nuts, then heap them in waterbutts,
Oh innkeep, I’m ready t’ let down my hair!
A drinker who’s boozy should not be too choosy,
So bring on the leeswine and beer without fail,
Oh barlass, keep fillin' the glasses I’m swillin',
And pour me some more o' Santharian Ale!
This tavern was heady
Drinks brewed in a smithy
they'd brandy and stumble and sudder and whine:
there's bottles of scotch
but one is too much!
Santharian ale will do me just fine!
Oh gimme a flask or a pot or a pail,
And do not stop pouring the while I’m adoring,
Yes, gimme a drink of Santharian Ale!

And set down a stool, a stump or a chair,
And if there be doch nuts, then heap them in waterbutts,
Oh innkeep, I’m ready t’ let down my hair!

This is one of those songs we're all ashamed to admit we actually enjoy--found m'self humming it today. ;p
If you'd like to suffer with me:
