Beer
For years we’ve been paying exorbitant fees
For imported beers from back east and o’er seas
But no more is it writ that this fate we must choose:
We can spend twice as much on our own local brews!
Our own local brews, our own local brews,
We can spend twice as much on our own local brews!It’s Red Hook and Black Hook we earnestly crave:
‘Twill turn a shy man to a bold dashing knave
It’s brewed up in Ballard where the waters are pure:
Two pints you’ll be saying “You betcha, ya sure”
You betcha ya sure, you betcha ya sure
Two pints you’ll be saying you betcha ya sure.Now if you should be travelling through fair Portland town
It’s there you’ll find brew pubs of fame and renown:
In the one known as Bridgeport, finesse is the work
Just ask for Blue Heron and they’ll give you the bird.
They’ll give you the bird, they’ll give you the bird
Just ask for Blue Heron, and they’ll give you the bird.Now if wheat from the inlands is more to your style,
But you still crave the strength of the Emerald Isle,
Then try Widmer Hefeweisen wherever they sell it
It’s easier to drink it than to try to spell it.
Than try to spell it, than try to spell it.
It’s easier to drink it than to try to spell it.If to sample variety is your desire,
But consistency, quality still light your fire
Then McManamin’s brew pub is that which you seek,
27 locations, they’re truly unique
They’re truly unique, they’re truly unique
27 locations, they’re truly unique.Now Canadian microbrews don’t do so well,
The Pacific Northwest does in that still excel,
Still there’s Shattsberry ale with its taste stout and strong
Makes the deaf for to see and the lame burst in song
The lame burst in song, the lame burst in song
Makes the dear for to see and the lame burst in song.So forget German pilsners, forgo English ales,
And stick to the brews that make these seem so pale,
For a pint of the purest the strongest the best,
Remember the finest of our own great Northwest!
Our own great Northwest, our own great Northwest
Remember the finest of our own great Northwest!
