Glanville's Homemade Beer:
As Sung by Charley R.
Oh, the year was 1992.
How I wish I'd never tried it now.
When a score of men was turned quite green
by the scummiest ale you've ever seen.
CHORUS
Goddamn them all, I was told this beer was
worth its weight in gold, we'd feel no pain,
shed no tears. It's a foolish man that shows no fear
at a glass of Glanville's home-made beer.
Hugo Glanville cried the town.
How I wish I'd never tried it now.
For twenty brave men all masochists who,
would taste for him his home-made brew.
CHORUS
This motly crew was a sickening sight.
How I wish I'd never tried it now.
There was Caveman Dave with his eyes in bags, and a
hardboiled liver with the staggers and jags.
CHORUS
We hadn't been there but an hour or two.
How I wish I'd never tried it now.
When a voice said, "Gimme that home-made brew",
and Steel-eyed Phil hauled into view.
CHORUS
Oh, Steel-eyed Phil was a fearsome man.
How I wish I'd never tried it now.
He was eight foot tall and four foot wide,
said, "Pass that jug or I'll tan your 'ide!"
CHORUS
Phil took one sip and he pitched on his side.
How I wish I'd never tried it now.
Ol' Glanville was smashed with a gut full of dregs
and his breath set fire to both me legs!
CHORUS
Now here I lie with me twenty-third beer.
How I wish I'd never tried it now.
It's been twenty years since I felt this way,
on the night before me weddin' day.
CHORUS
