Beer, beer, beer, tiddly beer, beer, beer

Gisteren de game The Bard's Tale gekocht. Een erg grappige RPG die alle clichés uit het genre met veel humor naar voren brengt. Hieronder bijvoorbeeld "The Beer song", dat jullie er ook van mogen genieten:

Beer, beer, beer, tiddly beer, beer, beer

A long time ago, way back in history
When all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops
And he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king
And to his praises we shall always sing
Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented
Beer beer beer Tiddly beer beer beer

The Drunken Rat, the Aiken Drum, the Trowles Pub as well
One thing you can be sure of, its Charlie's beer they sell
So all ye lads and lasses at eleven O'clock ye stop
For five short seconds, remember Charlie Mops

1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king
And to his praises we shall always sing
Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented
Beer beer beer Tiddly beer beer beer

A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with
a stick
The kind of lubrication to make your engine tick
40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks
It's only eight pence hapenny and one and six in tax,

1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king
And to his praises we shall always sing
Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented
Beer, beer, beer, Tiddly beer, beer, beer,
Tiddly beer, beer, beer.

The Lord bless Charlie Mopps.

Tijdens het zoeken heb ik ontdenkt dat dit nummer een traditioneel Iers lied is. Alleen de zin "The Curtis bar, the James' Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well" is in The Bard's Tale gewijzigd in "The Drunken Rat, the Aiken Drum, the Trowles Pub as well". Aangezien deze in de game voorkomen.
