Let's all sing in perfect beat
in the sauna heat
the soul of nectar slowly drips
hear its hiss on our lips
rehearsing voices brightly hum
the crooning butler beats the drum
the pouring beer delivers vim and
power to this hymn.

Drink drink drink
drink the ale of happiness
and everybody hears you sing
the pleasures of excess.
Drink drink drink
drink the lager of delight
your mug of schlagers shall be filled up
to the brim tonight.

La-la-la-la
na-na-na-na-na
pu-pu-pu-pub
echoes fly to every ear:
the aria for beer.

Let's all sing this chant aloud
all the tavern crowd
malt flows through the pipes of beers
merriment in engineers
dancing on the golden waves
in the toilet interior
amateurs not feeling fear
the choir of our cheer.

Drink drink drink...

Drink drink drink...

A pair of wobbling ducks arrived
to the sheets they dived
then in the wake-up blues
two smiling cockatoos
recalling in a shared bunk
how singing made them drunk.
