Garnet Roger's Homemade Beer

Oh, the year was 1978,

How I wish I'd never tried it now

When a score of men were turned quite green

By the scummiest ale you've ever seen

Chorus

God damn them all,

I was told this beer was worth it's weight in gold

We'd feel no pain, shed no tears

But it's a foolish man who shows no fear

At a glass of Murphy's homemade beer

Oh, Garnet Rogers cried the town

How I wish I'd never tried it now

For twenty good men all masochists who

Would taste for him his homemade brew

Chorus

Oh, this motley crew was a sickening sight

How I wish I'd never tried it now

There was cave man Dave with his eyes in bags

He'd a hard boiled liver, with the staggers and jags

Chorus

Oh, we hadn't been there but an hour or two

How I wish I'd never tried it now

When a vioce cried gimme some homemade brew

And Steeleye Stan hove into view

Chorus

Now, Steeleye Stan was a frightening man

How I wish I'd never tried it now

He was 8 foot tall and 4 foot wide

He said pass the jug or I'll tan yer hide

Chorus

Stan took a sip and pitched on his side

How I wish I'd never tried it now

Garnet got smashed, with a gut full of dregs

And his breath set fire to both me legs

Chorus

So, here I sit on me 23rd beer

How I wish I'd never tried it now

It's 10 long years since I felt this way

The night before me wedding day

Chorus
